Applicability:  A

Type:  0

Definition:  An item designed to increase the output of induction coils, ignition coils or magnetos during engine cranking periods by being connected as an auxiliary inductive load in the primary circuit of the induction coil, ignition coil or magneto. The increase is due to an induced current surge when the current is interrupted by another item such as timer, distributor or vibrator. It does not include a vibrator but may include relays, resistors and capacitors. Includes single and multiple units.

Basic Name:  COIL

Description:  1. (Electrical) An item generally consisting of one or more turns of wire or similar conductive material (in special cases it may be considered as a partial turn). It is specifically designed to concentrate magnetic flux generated by the flow of an electric current, to induce in itself an electromotive force, and to add or subtract inductive reactance in a circuit. Excludes: Winding (1). In selecting appropriate modifier for a coil contained in a complex or assembled item, use name of immediate next higher component of which the coil is a direct part. For example, a coil for a relay which is part of a STARTER, MOTOR or a CONTROLLER (as modified) would properly be assigned the item name COIL, RELAY.
