Electrical system for 4x4's and spare parts

For some people, 4x4 electrical systems can be a mess of wires, but it is much more than that. These wires are part of a larger system that creates a scheme for the distribution of power. This article will help you learn about basic electrical system components of your 4x4 in an easy to understand approach.

Advancements of the automotive electrical systems in SUVs are becoming much more mature. This complex system of components produces and stores electricity needed to power the vehicle. Part of the power system consists of battery, starter (alternator or generator), voltage regulator and the fuse panel.

The electrical system is generally not difficult to understand. 12 volt battery power is made available to all the needs of the vehicle. Battery charge from the alternator or generator, also called a dynamo, is connected to the engine belt and generates electricity needed to charge the battery. The tension created by the battery then goes into the ignition and allows you to start the engine of your 4x4 by turning the ignition key.

The battery consists of cells that are filled with positive and negative plates. These plates are separated by insulators and immersed in an electrolyte, a combination of water and sulfuric acid. These cells produce and store electrical energy required for correct operation of the electrical system. If you have an older 4x4, it can be equipped with a generator instead of an alternator. The generator requires a higher RPM to generate this electricity.

Modern cars have alternators and also contain a voltage regulator whose job is to maintain the right level of tension. A key element of the vehicle's electrical system is ignition. Typically used only a few times a day, but it is the largest consumer of power in the electrical system of your vehicle.

The starter works by turning the crankshaft through the flywheel of the engine, which then begins the combustion process in the engine. Once the burning process is started, it creates compression in the cylinders. For this procedure, the voltage to the starter motor is supplied from the battery. The ignition relay is controlled by the starter. Every electrical component in the 4x4 is connected to the safety fuse box by wires.

If you are looking for spare parts for the electrical system of any model or brand of 4x4, you've come to the right place. Findspares.co.za cares about your free time, saving you money, making it possible to quickly and easily buy spare parts such as relays, fuses, switches, sensors, coils, flow meters, electric appliances, electric motors, cables, plugs, starters and many others.
