    This document describes three types of ignition systems: battery-coil, magneto, and electronic ignition. It focuses on explaining the battery ignition system. The key components are the battery, ignition coil, contact breaker, condenser, distributor, and spark plug. It describes how the contact breaker interrupts the primary circuit to induce high voltage in the secondary winding and create a spark in the spark plug. The magneto system replaces the battery with a generator driven by the engine.

    BATTERY IGNITION SYSTEM


    Ignition coil
    • Ignition coil consist of soft iron strips
    bound together by insulating material
    which acts as a central core.

    • Core has primary winding having 100 to


    200 turns and secondary winding having
    about 20000 turns. This entire unit is
    assembled in a container.

    • Two terminals switch wire & contact


    breaker are coupled to primary winding.
    Secondary winding connected to high
    tension central terminal to central terminal
    of the distributor.
    Contact Breaker
    • Mechanical device for
    making and breaking
    primary circuit of the
    ignition coil.

    • Consists of fixed metal


    point of hard metal which
    bears against another metal
    point which is on spring
    loaded pivot arm.

    •When the contact points are closed, the electric current flows and
    when they are open, the circuit is broken and flow of current stops.
    WORKING OF BATTERY
    IGNITION SYSTEM
    • When the ignition switch is on, contact breaker points are closed which
    allows current flow from battery through ignition coil.

    • It develops magnetic field across primary winding and induces a e.m.f.

    • When breaker point is opened by cam fitted pivot arm, opens the
    primary circuit and magnetic field in primary circuit collapses.

    • The flow of current is reversed when the battery voltage becomes less
    than voltage across the condenser plates.

    • Quick reversal of current in the primary winding reverses the magnetic


    field in coil causing very high voltage induced in secondary winding.
    • When contact breaker is opened, the distributor rotor connects with a
    contact to spark plug and high induced voltage jumps across the air
    gap of spark plug producing spark.

     CONDENSER EFFECT

    • When flow of current through primary winding is interrupted,


    magnetic field begins to collapse and this collapse attempts to re-
    establish the flow of current.

    • If the condenser is not provided, the current would be re-established


    which would result into a heavy arc across the separating contact
    breaker points and the energy of ignition coil will be consumed by arc
    which may burn the contact breaker points.

    • Condenser prevents arcing across the breaker points and prolongs its
    life.
    Magneto Ignition System
    • Magneto is generator of electric current driven by engine.
    • A magneto consists of an armature built up of laminated soft
    iron plates and wound with insulated copper wire and a
    laminated soft iron pole pieces attached to permanent magnets.
    • In this system, magneto replaces battery and induction coil of
    the BIS.
    • High voltage is produced when magneto is rotated at high
    speeds.

    WORKING OF MAGNETO
    IGNITION SYSTEM
    • Magnetic field in the primary and secondary windings is produced
    by a rotating permanent magnet in the armature.

    • As magnet revolves a rapid change of magnetic flux in coil takes


    place.

    • To induce high voltage required for sparking, a rapid breakdown of


    magnetic flux is carried out by contact breaker.

    • Rest of the working is same as BIS.
