ACTUATOR SOLENOID - The solenoid in the actuator housing on the back of the injection pump which moves the control rack as commanded by the engine controller.

A device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

A flow of electrons which reverses its direction of flow at regular intervals in a conductor.

The temperature of the surrounding medium, such as gas, air or liquid, which comes into contact with a particular component.

An instrument for measuring the flow of electrical current in amperes. Ammeters are always connected in series with the circuit to be tested.

A unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. One ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance. The ampere is u [..]

A unit of measure for battery capacity. It is obtained by multiplying the current (in amperes) by the time (in hours) during which current flows. For example, a battery which provides 5 amperes for 20 [..]

A device of electronic components used to increase power, voltage, or current of a signal.
