GENERAL
To aid in the understanding and troubleshooting of an
electrical system, review the terms and information that
follows.
Electrical Energy - power which comes from the movement
of electrons. Electrons are particles with a negative charge.
Electrons will collect around particles with a positive charge,
called protons, until an electrical imbalance occurs.
Amperage - rate of flow of electrons (CURRENT), measured
in amperes.
Voltage - the electromotive force (EMF) which causes
electrons to move through an electrical circuit, measured in
volts.
Resistance - any resistance to flow of electrons in an
electrical circuit, measured in Ohms.
Ohm’s Law - “Electric current increases in direct relation to
the voltage and decreases in relation to the amount of
resistance in any circuit.”
To Find:
EMF (Voltage) - Multiply CURRENT (amps) by
RESISTANCE (Ohms)
RESISTANCE (Ohms) - Divide EMF (voltage) by
CURRENT (amps)
CURRENT (Amps) - Divide EMF (voltage) by
RESISTANCE (Ohms).
Consider the following when trying to find trouble in an
electrical system:
1. Current always flows from (+) positive to (-) negative, or
from the point of highest voltage.
2. Because the system used on this machine is a negative
ground system, current that leaves the supply (battery)
returns to the supply (battery).
CAUTION
Know the electrical circuit before connecting or
disconnecting an electrical component. A wrong
connection can cause personal injury or damage to the
component and/or system.
