While many people understand that the ignition system is a part that produces spark that is indispensable for engine starting, there are several types of ignition methods to distinguish from CDI ignition or TCI ignition.
Among other things, CDI ignition is an abbreviation for Capacitive Discharge Ignition.
In CDI ignition devices that use magnets, the powerful magnet called the flywheel magnet, the current can be stored in the coil, and using the magnetic resonance to generate a high voltage of 2 to 30,000 volts with the ignition coil.The increased voltage will eventually flow into the spark plug to scatter sparks.
Now you can see the difference between the TCI ignitor and CDI ignitors.First, the TCI ignitor (Transistor Charge Ignition) is a structure that detects the rise of voltage by magnetic sensors.
The TCI ignition system is designed to allow the magnetic sensor to react when the voltage rises and ignite at the time it can be detected.Thats why the TCI ignitors make a slightly gentle voltage rise and ignition while CDI ignitors instantly produce large voltage and create a fire.
A CDI ignitor may be used for small engines where engine is relatively easy to start and otherwise a TCI ignitor is used.Since both ignition systems are stabilized and sparks are now incorporated a ignition system that matches the characteristics of the vehicle and engine.
In addition to the magnetic ignition system of both the CDI ignitor and TCI ignition systems, there are also types that use batteries to ignite them.Battery powered ignitors, also known as battery booster ignitors, most current CDI ignitors use battery operated.
