Electric cars are the cars of the future but in Africa, there are enormous challenges with the adoption and use of electric cars, the foremost being the lack of cheap and available power supply.
It is possible for radiator fan to spin in a wrong direction due to placement or connection. This can cause engine overheating and also waste energy. It is sometimes difficult to track this fault since the fan still rotates.
Most sensors and actuators in cars are electrically powered. A loss of power or low voltage supply to these components can impede their function and throw the vehicle into limp mode.
The testing of a fuse is one of the easiest diagnosis. It can be done by doing physical inspection, continuity test, by using a test lamp or by checking the voltage at both terminals of the fuse.
The main battery fuse of a car is a relatively high amperage fuse that protects the overall battery circuit. When it gets blown, it causes problems like no crank and other accessories not working.
Pulse width modulation has found diverse applications in automobiles especially in actuators, motor, voltage and current control. PWM technique reduces power consumption and increases efficiency.
