Cards

Term
Name the parts of the magnetic circuit in a magneto
Definition
Rotating magnet
Pole shoes
Pole shoe extensions
Coil core
Term
What are the positions of the magnet in a magnet circuit
Definition
Full register
Neutral
E-gap
Term
How many poles can be in a rotating magnet
Definition
2,4,or6
Term
How can you tell the difference between a left and right handed magneto
Definition
Drive end turns clockwise for right
Drive end turns counterclockwise for left
Term
How is eddy current lessened in a magnetic circuit
Definition
Shoes, shoe extensions and coil core layers are laminated
Term
What position do you time a magneto
Definition
E-gap
Term
Where is e-gap
Definition
A few degrees past neutral
Term
Name the parts of a primary circuit
Definition
Primary winding
Breaker points
Capacitor
Term
What is the secondary parts of the primary circuit
Definition
P lead and switch
Term
When should the primary points open
Definition
At e-gap
Term
Name the parts of the secondary circuit
Definition
Secondary winding
Distributor block
Distributor finger
Carbon brush
Wire and plugs
Term
What is the difference between a high and low tension magneto
Definition
Position of the secondary winding
Remote-low tension
Inside-high tension
Term
Why is a mag considered a special type of alternating current generator
Definition
Self generating generator
Term
What is neutral position
Definition
Position where one of the pole pieces is centered between the pole shoes in the magneto housing
Term
How can we increase the power in a generated in a magneto
Definition
By increasing the number of turns in the secondary winding
Term
When does the greatest change in flux occur
Definition
When the magnet passes through neutral
Term
What is the difference between pivot and pivotless type assembly
Definition
Pivot has movable contact points at one end of a lever
Pivotless has the movable contact points on a spring type lever
Term
What is e gap
Definition
Position between neutral and the position where the contact points open
Term
What is coming in speed
Definition
Speed magneto turns to produce a spark
Term
What is the difference between the sparking order and firing order
Definition
Firing order is order of which piston is ready to fire
Sparking order is the order that the spark comes from the magneto
Term
What is a p-lead
Definition
Primary lead
Term
Why do we need shielded wires running to the spark plugs
Definition
To keep the aircraft antenna from picking up the frequency coming from the magneto
Term
If the ignition switch is in the L position which magneto is grounded
Definition
Right
