What is Voltage Drop?

Posted by Josh Carton on

the loss of voltage as electrons flow through a circuit due to the resistance (impedance) in that part of the circuit. So, in other words, it is the amount of voltage lost in the circuit due to resistance. Voltage Drop is a natural part of a circuit and will occur through the materials that are a part of it (wires and connectors) as well as the components. It is important to understand that the drop in voltage is

What is Resistance? and how to measure it

Posted by Josh Carton on

Resistance is defined as the impeding, slowing, or stopping effect exerted by one material thing on another. Before we talk about electrical resistance it is important to understand that on a vehicle that there are 2 types of resistance you will run into (Pun intended)....

What is Amperage?

Posted by Josh Carton on

Because the amps are the workforce of the battery flowing through the vehicles circuits and thusly “activating” the things that need to be working (electrically) it is important to always have the correct amount of electron flow to components. Whether starting a motor, fan, relay or lightbulb everything on the vehicle has a...

What is Voltage

Posted by Josh Carton on

In automotive in general and now more than ever, we are heavily reliant on electrical power to start our circuits, power our computers, run sensors, send messages between systems, operate safety and infotainment systems and as always produce spark at the motor. Voltage in a vehicle is now just a part of every day life...
