Ignition with inductive reactance cables: with a layer of conductive and magnetic silicone

Picture of Ignition with inductive reactance cables
This type of ignition cables inside lies a core of glass fiber, on which lies a layer of conductive and magnetic silicone surrounded by a stainless steel wire. This will generate a voltage of induction (electromagnetism).

These ignition cables creates an intermittent magnetic field and winding stores energy for later release it. As a result, is neutralized cable inductive voltage and inductive resistance ("Ballast"). This type of wiring resistance varies depending on the revolutions of the engine.

Covered by two layers of silicone and fiberglass fabric, the first gives the cable more rigidity and protects it from high ignition voltage, while the second provides you with greater resistance.

Outside silicone rubber insulation can withstand temperatures up to 220 ° C and is resistant to gasoline and oil.

One meter of cable of this type may have a parasite from 2.2 k resistor 8 k.
