Can a Multimeter Measure the Quality of an Igniter?
1 Answers
An igniter cannot be measured with a multimeter; its condition can only be analyzed based on its function and fault symptoms. Below is relevant information about igniters: 1. Components: An igniter mainly consists of a power source, ignition coil, distributor, ignition switch, spark plug, additional resistor and its short-circuit device, high and low voltage wires, etc. 2. Principle: The principle of an igniter is that after power is applied, the inverter circuit works, generating a high-frequency high voltage applied to the discharge electrode, causing spark discharge to produce an electric spark, which is used to ignite combustible gas. 3. Types: Electronic pulse igniters, electronic high-frequency high-voltage igniters, and coil silicon steel sheet igniters.
