gyújtáselosztóban

Gyújtáselosztóban translates to "in the distributor" in English. In the context of internal combustion engines, a distributor is a crucial component of the ignition system. Its primary function is to distribute the high-voltage electrical current generated by the ignition coil to the correct spark plug at the precise moment for ignition.

The distributor typically consists of a rotating rotor that aligns with different contact points within a cap. As the engine runs, the rotor spins, and its contact momentarily connects with each terminal in the cap. Each terminal is wired to a specific spark plug. This timed connection ensures that the spark occurs in the cylinder that is ready for combustion, leading to the power stroke.

Modern vehicles have largely replaced the mechanical distributor with electronic ignition systems, often utilizing a crank position sensor and an engine control unit (ECU) to manage ignition timing. However, understanding the function of a distributor is fundamental to comprehending the principles of older ignition systems. The term "gyújtáselosztóban" would refer to any action or observation occurring within this mechanical component of the ignition system.
