Off-Road Electrical Circuit Fundamentals- Part A
What does a battery disconnect switch prevent?
accidental slow discharge of battery group when unit is parked
How can the battery disconnect switch be connected in?
in series in either the positive side or negative side
Purpose of circuit protection devices?
protect machines electrical circuits from large current flows
How does a type 1 circuit breaker react?
opens and closes when a bimetal strip heats and cools
how does a type 2 circuit breaker react?
has a heat producing resistor, must cool down before it will restore
how does a type 3 circuit breaker react?
has a manual reset button. must cool down completely before use.
formula for calculating circuit load?
P= I x E (power = amps x volts)
What does the headlamp system provide?
illumination at night and in poor weather
Are the flood/working lamps battery hot or key hot?
key hot
What does installing flood/working lamps depend on to ensure proper installation?
material
area
length
temperature
What is a pole in reference to?
of paths
What is a throw in reference to?
of positions
How can the intensity of panel lamps be controlled?
with a series connected rheostat
What flasher must be used with LED?
solid state flasher
why can’t you use an electromechanical flasher with LED lights?
LED doesn’t produce enough current flow for that type of flasher
what are the 3 types of flashers?
electronic, solid state, electromechanical
If the eco is the control device for the backup light and warning beeper, where should the relay be grounded?
through the ecu
what two signals can control the backup lamp circuit?
unit transmission switch or eco
When the cab door is closed, what position is the door switch?
open position
Benefits of using LED lights?
provides operators 10m of stopping distance
How do DC motors operate?
use electricity and magnetism to produce rotary mechanical motion
does a PM motor have electrical field coils?
no
what is the only factor limiting a PM motors armature speed?
counter-electromotive forces generated in the armature
Since the speed of a pm motor is constant, what can be used to slow the output?
a reduction gearbox
