Condensator voor het contactonderbrekerontstekingssysteem.

De condensator is parallel geschakeld aan de contactpunten in de verdeler. Wanneer de punten openen, absorbeert deze de stroompiek die anders de opening zou overbruggen, onderdrukt vonkvorming bij de contacten en versnelt de ineenstorting van het magnetische veld van de bobine om een sterkere vonk te produceren. Dit beschermt de punten tegen inbranden en putjes en helpt een consistente vonk te behouden.

Gemonteerd op benzine- en V8-ontstekingssystemen die gebruikmaken van contactpunten.

Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC3472 condenser and what does it do?
The RTC3472 condenser is a capacitor wired across the contact breaker points inside the distributor. It absorbs the current surge as the points open, suppressing arcing and sharpening the ignition coil's spark. It's fitted to points-type ignition on Land Rover Series, Defender V8 and Discovery 1 petrol engines.
Where is the condenser located and what does it work with?
The condenser sits inside the distributor, wired across the contact breaker points. It works alongside the points and rotor arm to control the spark on the ignition system. It only applies to points-type contact breaker ignition, not later electronic systems.
Why does a condenser fail and what are the symptoms?
A condenser fails when its internal capacitor breaks down, which lets the points arc and burn. Typical symptoms are misfiring, hard starting, weak spark or the engine cutting out. Fitting a fresh condenser along with new points is usual practice on these classic Land Rover ignition systems.
