What is the CDI on a stator?
CDI SOLUTION: CDI Stators are designed using larger magnet wire winding on their capacitor charge coils. Larger magnet wire results in less electrical current flow, producing a cooler operating coil. This design will prolong the life of this critical source of power for the ignition system.
What is a CDI on an outboard motor?
Capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in outboard motors, motorcycles, lawn mowers, chainsaws, small engines, turbine-powered aircraft, and some cars.
Where is CDI Electronics located?
Huntsville, Alabama
CDI Electronics is the world’s leading manufacturer of ignition components and engine diagnostic software for recreational marine engines. The company manufactures over 700 different parts at our Huntsville, Alabama facility and sells them through 70 distributors in 14 countries.
What is the function of CDI?
Essentially, a CDI box controls a motorcycle’s ignition system by starting the ignition and combustion process. A pulse of voltage from the motorcycle battery passes through the CDI box to fire up the spark plug.
What’s a CDI box do?
When it comes to ignition systems, you’ll commonly hear of what’s called a CDI box, or capacitor discharge ignition box. Essentially, a CDI box controls a motorcycle’s ignition system by starting the ignition and combustion process.
What is Digital CDI ignition?
A Capacitor Discharge Ignition or CDI is an electronic ignition device that stores an electrical charge and then discharges it through an ignition coil in order to produce a powerful spark from the spark plugs in a petrol engine. Here the ignition is provided by the capacitor charge.
Is CDI and ECU the same?
When there is no triggering signal the charging circuit is re-connected to charge the capacitor. The CDI referenced in some models of Polaris is controlled by the ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is an electronic switch which stops the flow of current in an inductive discharge ignition system.
How do you test a CDI?
First take the leads of the multimeter and connect them together. If you are using a digital multimeter then you should hear a beeping sound. Measure for continuity between all the ground and the various other points. If your cdi is working well, you should not hear any sounds.
