current limiting

If continuous relay coil current is an issue, a simple solution is to add a capacitor, in parallel with a resistor, in series with the relay. This works because a DC relay has a far higher "pull-in" current than "holding" current. The capacitor provides an initial inrush current, which drops in a fraction of second to the value the resistor passes.

6 Frequently Asked Questions about “The coil burned out after changing the capacitor”

Why did my ignition coil burn a resistance?

According to the technician, who had burned a resistance, which is possibly due to a damage or failure of the ignition coil, since it becomes overheated to the ECU, and causes this damage. Be true? making needed to verify this? If ignition coil how to test it?

Can a coil damage an ECU?

If some of the ignition coil primary windings have shorted together, that would be the only scenario where I could see a coil damaging an ECU. When an ECU switches off the ignition coil primary current, the electromagnetic field collapses and the ignition coil fires to cause the spark that ignites a spark plug.

What causes a coil to fail?

The overheating causes the windings insulation to fail (called layer shorting), and when the wiring touches together inside the coil, the resistance and load gets exponentially greater, overloading the coil, and most times, module to failure. There are a number of areas to look if coil failure, and subsequent module failure continues.

What happens when an ECU switches off primary current?

When an ECU switches off the ignition coil primary current, the electromagnetic field collapses and the ignition coil fires to cause the spark that ignites a spark plug. A peak voltage of some tens of thousands of volts is at the secondary coil output for the spark.

What causes a bad ignition coil?

It is possible that the problems you describe could be caused by a failing ignition coil. It should have a resistance of (if I recall correctly) 10-15 ohms on the primary. Less could indicate a short circuit. This could cause the electronics which drive the coil to draw too much power and fail. These electronics are located in the PCM itself.

How do Hei coils work?

HEI coils have a grounding bar under them, goes from the coil yoke to the center terminal of the 3 wire connector, and to distributor ground. Dirty, increased resistance, failure, or, no contact, coil won't fire. Older rotors were made form lower quality plastics and can transmit spark through them, increasing resistance and heat, failure.
