The different electrical parts of a two wheeler are:
- Alternator: It converts mechanical energy to alternating current electrical energy. It keeps the battery charged.
- Armature: An armature is part of an electrical device which includes many current-carrying windings. It is a hollow cylinder, with coils of wire on its walls. It is the stationary part of the electrical device and also known as a stator or Pole Core.
- Commutators: It is an electrical switch which periodically reverses the current in an electric motor or electrical generator. It maintains magnetic polarities required to keep the shafts of the motors turning.
- Electrical Cables: They connect switches, wires, lights, electric motors, sensors, computers and plugs. They are also known as Ignition cable.
- Flasher: It is like a special type of switch which can turn on or off a metal strip.
- Ignition Coil: It transforms a battery voltage to high ignition voltage needed to spark the spark plugs. It is also called a spark coil.
- Ignition Lock: Ignition lock is a restraint incorporated into the ignition switch to prevent the use of a vehicle by persons who do not have the key.
- Ignition Switch: It is the place where a vehicle's electrical circuits got activated and start the vehicle.
- Rectifier / Regulator: It converts AC into regulated DC and supply the required load to keep the voltage within specified limits.
- Solenoid: It is a loop of wire wrapped around a metallic core. It supplies the required current to run the starter motor of an engine.
- Spark Plug: It is shaped like a small cylinder, ignites the air-fuel mixture and transfer heat from the combustion chamber. This process turns fuel into working energy.
- Spark Plug Socket: It is a socket with rubber inside to grab onto the terminal and hold the plug inside of the socket.
- Starter Relay: Starter relay is of two types: Electromechanical and Solid State Relay. It detects and isolate faults on transmission and distribution lines.
