AUTO ELECTRICAL

The Auto Electrical kit is available either as a stand alone unit or as an addition to the workstation. The stand alone unit is depicted here. A specially chosen battery is supplied which must be charged and maintained as a normal automotive battery. This battery is then fed through the ignition switch and is used to power all the components in this "negative earth" electrical system

• 
• All the components are real automotive units selected and mounted to give the best didactic value.
• investigate individual modules and components as well as sub-circuits and complex systems
• Subcircuits are assembled and made to work.The standard ignition system is wired from various components and the sparks can be seen when the distributor drive is made to operate; the tachometer can be connected to this circuit. The thermostat will detect the temperature rise and the radiator fan will switch on.
• Expandable to include autotronics and advanced systems
• Your students will learn auto electrical circuits in a reduced time span thanks to the modular outcome based course!

N.B. The educational contents of the outcome based manuals are generic since wiring of the same circuit may take many different forms and relies on individual preference. More complicated wiring such as that of the ignition system, the tachometer, thermostat, wiper delay, etc, have their own wiring instructions although even here personal preferences are acceptable. Actual "jobs" shown with a star require a real car to practice on.
