Chapter 4 - How do the electrical systems of an automobile work?

For a novice, a car’s electrical system is not more than cluster of wires, but in reality these small wires are a minuscule portion of large system which distributes required electricity to cater car’s need.

Automobile electrical system is both complex and sophisticated! It is inclusive of components such as battery, solenoid, starter, voltage regulator, generator or alternator and fuse panel. While battery is the ‘central heart’ of a car, other components are equally vital. A power of 12volt is formulated by battery in order to supply it to all electrical needs. This generated battery is then recharged by alternator or generator. A belt is used in order to make connection between engine and generator and is useful in generating the battery which is required for car’s working. Finally, the voltage formulated through the battery passes to the starter from where it is accessible to start a vehicle.

Battery is considered as ‘soul’ of an electrical system of an automobile as it stores all power generated and which is required for making a car move. Auxiliary apparatus such as clocks, radio and car alarm are also run with help of battery only, especially at time when engine is in still mode. Six cells are incorporated in battery which is separated for negative and positive plates through insulators. They are even immersed in electrolyte substance usually mixture of sulfuric acid and water. Alternator on other hand is useful for generating electricity which helps in running of electrical devices such as engine controls and other ignition devices. A belt drives the alternator which is connected to engine and helps in converting AC power to DC power.

Starter formulates another vital car component and is biggest power consumer. The crankshaft of engine is turned on via flywheel in order to start process of combustion and finally for starting the car. Compression within cylinders is generated as soon as process of combustion starts. While battery is used to transfer this power, solenoid is used to administer it which is furthermore controlled by ignition switch. Turning this switch on finally starts the starter motor and then the car.

Final component of car’s electrical system is fuse panel which is connected with each electrical device in an automobile. Position aside kick box, this box is inclusive of ample numbers of fuses. Such fuses protect occurrence of short circuit, overload and more greater damages as if even fire.

With a nutshell explanation of working of car’s electrical system, readers will not only able to know how it works, but will be also benefitted when next time having a car repair work. What about the cooling and lubrication system? Let’s check that as well!
