Are 6 volt and 12 volt condensers the same?
Re: Can I use a 12 volt condensor on 6 volt car? No such thing as a 6V or 12V ignition condenser. Irrespective of applied primary voltage (6V, 12V, 24V) the condensers are made to withstand the flyback or reverse EMF voltage made by the coil as it’s magnetic field collapses when the points open.
Are all 12V condenser the same?
Any condenser of the same value will work. They are indifferent to voltage but the capacitance (microfarads) should be the same or at least close. They aren’t that accurate from new.
How do you test a 12 volt condenser?
How to Test a Condenser in a Small Engine
- Remove the condenser from the engine.
- Switch the volt ohmmeter to the ohms position.
- Touch the red lead to the hot connector on the condenser.
- Remove the leads and reverse the placement to the condenser.
- Movement from the meter’s needle indicates the condenser is good.
How does a 12 volt condenser work?
A 12-volt condenser is part of an automotive ignition system. The battery provides power to the primary side of the ignition coil, which in turn produces high voltages across the secondary windings of the ignition coil. The voltage from the secondary winding is fed to the spark plugs as required to start the engine.
What is the difference between a capacitor and a condenser?
Capacitor is a newer term used in place of condenser. Condenser is an old term used for capacitor. The energy stored in the capacitor turns into an electric field between the plates of the capacitor. The energy stored in a condenser gets turned into an electrostatic field between the poles of the condenser.
What’s the difference between a 6 and 12 volt condenser?
So back to your question…. I would guess that the value of the condensor (capacitance value in Farads) is different between a 6 volt and a 12 volt system.
How does a 12 volt condenser battery work?
by Dwight Chestnut. A 12-volt condenser is part of an automotive ignition system. The battery provides power to the primary side of the ignition coil, which in turn produces high voltages across the secondary windings of the ignition coil.
What’s the difference between 12 volt and 18 volt?
Right off the bat, you should lump 18-volt and 20-volt tools into the same category since we established that they are the same. So really, the comparison is just 12-volt vs. 18-volt.
Put the positive lead of the megger on the positive terminal of the condenser and the negative or ground end of the megger to the negative terminal of the condenser. Start up the megger. Select the 500-volt range using the voltage range dial on the megger.

Do you need a condenser for a 6V coil?
Depending on the coil used, you may also need to add a ballast resistor. Points & Condenser: As far as the points are concerned, you will see that your 6V points are made more heavy-duty than the 12V points and are able for 12V operation. Consequently, the points do not need to be replaced.
Which is better a 6 volt or a 12 volt battery?
A 12 volt battery lasts longer than a 6 volt, and you can jump-start a 12 volt tractor with an ordinary vehicle. Switching to an alternator eliminates the need for a generator and voltage regulator, giving you a more reliable charging system.
