What are the types of ignition systems?

[LincolnMarie]

There are various types of ignition systems: traditional contact ignition systems; semiconductor-assisted ignition systems; conventional electronic ignition systems; microcomputer-controlled ignition systems The function of a gasoline engine's ignition system is to timely ignite the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder according to the engine's operational needs. Ignition systems can be divided into three types: traditional ignition systems, conventional electronic ignition systems, and microcomputer-controlled electronic ignition systems. Electronic ignition devices with contacts can reduce contact sparks and improve ignition performance by lowering the contact current. This is a semiconductor-assisted ignition device. Contactless electronic ignition systems use sensors instead of breaker contacts to generate ignition signals, controlling the on-off of the ignition coil and the operation of the ignition system, which can overcome all disadvantages related to contacts and are widely used in domestic and foreign automobiles.
