Terminal cascade

In the terminal cascade the powerful transistor settles down, he switches on and off current to the ignition coil (or to ignition coils). Thanks to it high currents cannot damage sensitive electronics of the control unit.

Terminal cascades of separate engines settle down:

  • in the 74 kW engine near the ignition coil;
  • in the 92 kW engine over ignition coils on a head of the block of cylinders;
  • in the 110 kW four-cylinder engine under a cover of the case of the air filter;
  • in the six-cylinder engine also under a cover of the air filter.
