Ignition module, as an element of the ignition system

The ignition system is used to carry out the process of ignition of the fuel-air mixture. Its main purpose is to convert a low-voltage current into a high-voltage one. This is necessary to create a powerful spark at the ends of the candle electrodes. The voltage on the electrode must be not less than 20 thousand volts. Ignition systems are divided into three types:

1) contact - the occurrence of pulses to supply high-voltage current is carried out by opening the contacts of the ignition distributor. At this point, the coil generates a high-voltage current and transfers it to the distributor.

2) contactless - differs from a contact replacement of the interrupter by a similar one, only with the absence of a contact group. Pulses are created by the switch. BSZ promotes more complete combustion of the mixture, fuel economy and increased torque. This is due to an increase in the voltage of up to 30 thousand volts.

3) the microprocessor-distribution system in it is replaced by an ignition module that controls the moment of the pulse and the creation of a high-voltage current.

Any sparking system consists of the following elements:

1) Power source - battery or car generator. It all depends on what stage the engine is at. If the engine is at the start-up stage, then the source is the battery. If the engine is already running and turns the generator, then the energy is produced last.

2) The power switch is an ignition switch or a special button that turns on the power and sends it to the system elements, or turns it off.

3) Energy accumulator - is an element that, after accumulating energy, gives it out for sparking, or an element that is capable of converting current.

4) Ignition distributor - used to direct the high voltage current to the required spark plug, depending on the position of the engine crankshaft.

Trembler is a current distribution device between high-voltage wires and contains a current interrupter.

Ignition module. Quite often it is used in injector cars and does not directly connect to the engine's camshaft. This decision is quite common. Systems that use the ignition module are called static, that is, fixed. Structurally, this device replaces several elements of the KSZ. The ignition module consists of two coils having a certain capacity, and switches.

5) Ignition wires - solid conductors, which are used to transport high voltage current from the distributor to the candles.

6) Candles - are a combination of two isolated electrodes. A positive electrode, also referred to as a core, is located in the center of the candle, and the negative electrode is insulated by the conductive element and is at a distance from the positive 0.5 to 2 mm (this depends on the type of vehicle and the ignition system).

The principle of operation of any of the above systems is the transmission of high voltage current, which is generated by a coil or ignition module, through a distributor to a particular candle. The spark on the candle electrodes should appear at the time of the compression phase in the engine cylinder.
