Rotor, without the 12 k-ohms resistance
... Distributor rotors, without 12,000 ohms resistance
1) The original Bosch rotors, as recommended by VW, I believe had 12,000 ohms, or was it 6,000 ohms of resistance across the contacts... that being from the centre, out to the tip. 2) What I am finding these days (probably from China) is just a straight through conductor with zero resistance. 3) Would love to hear feedback on what harm might come using these newer type rotors built without the resistance. 4) I am guessing/hoping it would not overheat the coil, since the proper Bosch coils have their own built-in resistance/ballast in the primary windings to control the proper amount of primary current in the primary windings... and thus control the proper level of current in the secondary, going through the rotor. Secondary current is always proportional to primary current, since that is the only place the secondary circuit can get its electrical energy. 5) So I am hoping some of you might have some thoughts on these newer rotors being found in the market missing the 12,000 ohms, or 6,000 ohms of resistance. 6) Hope Speedy Jim is still on his computer since I know anything electrical is definitely his specialty.
