Electricity

This week in class we performed some electrical test on the FLD. First we tested the alternator output. The rated output was 140 amps at 2k pens. We couldn't get past 83. Didn't know if we didn't have everything on or what but it never reached the rated output. Next we tested how much volts it put out. Around 14.8volts. That's about all we did and ate pizza of course.

Srt4 and a FLD

This week in class our group did some test on the FLD. We tested the battery strength with a carbon pile tester and did some volt readings. In our other class we worked on my personal Srt4 neon. For some odd reason the fans were not working. We performed a bidirectional test with no luck. We then removed the fans and supplied power to them via the battery and they worked. Turned out to be a bad connection in the plug on the fans. We cleaned up the wires and boom! Fans now.
