What does grounding mean?
1 Answers
Automotive grounding refers to a single-wire electrical system that utilizes the engine or chassis metal for conduction. It functions like a wire, connecting to the negative terminal of the battery. Grounding connection: Commonly seen in automotive technology, it refers to the vehicle's grounding connection system. Related to the vehicle's single-wire system, it means connecting the positive or negative terminal of the battery and alternator to the vehicle chassis, making the chassis carry positive or negative charge. This allows all electrical equipment installed on the chassis to form a complete circuit with just one wire from the other terminal of the power source. Advantages of negative grounding: Causes less chemical corrosion to the chassis and body metal, and produces minimal radio interference.
