1 cheapness due to less use of wiring more copper =more cost
2 it makes the wiring system simple due to less use of wires its not having to run everything back to the battery
less wires
Chassis return systems are generally easier to work on as there is less wires.
They all so cost significantly less due to there being less copper
ur mem
Less wires Less complicated
Think of it as the skeleton that the body and all the components of a car are supported by. It also is a well known architecture for embedded computer systems. There are many types of chassis ie. VME, PC-104, but the definition refers to a container of something.
A circuit is electrically grounded when charges are able to flow directly from the circuit into Earth in the event of a short circuit.AnswerYou are probably thinking about what is called a 'chassis ground' or 'chassis earth'. Cars' electrical systems are examples chassis ground systems.Using a car as an example, one terminal of the battery (usually the negative terminal) is connected directly to the metal body (the 'chassis') of the vehicle. The other terminal then supplies the various electrical loads in the car. An individual circuit consists of a single insulated cable running, via a switch, to, say, a headlamp; the return part of the circuit is then through the metal bodywork of the car. So the car's bodywork acts as the return conductor to the battery. Using a chassis earth dramatically reduces the number of conductors required by all the various loads within a car, as the chassis of the vehicle acts as the return conductor for each circuit.A chassis ground may, or may not, be itself connected to the general mass of the earth itself. In the case of a car, the chassis earth is not connected to the earth itself.In most other cases, ground or earth connections are made between the metal housing of an electrical appliance and the general mass of the earth itself. In the event of a line conductor accidentally making contact with the housing of an appliance, an earth fault is applied to that circuit, causing the fuse or circuit breaker supplying that circuit, to trip. In other words, the purpose of this type of earth connection is to protect against a shock hazard. The reason this sort of protection is necessary is because the supply transformer's neutral is grounded at the substation, and offers an alternative route for a fault current to return to the source.
the chassis will not conduct the electrical current
Technically, only if the chassis is connected to true ground (earch ground). However, often chassis ground may be termed earth ground when the chassis ground iis the most common and final gound in the system...Type your answer here...Additional AnswerAn example of a 'chassis ground' is the way in which a vehicle is wired. One terminal of the battery (usually the negative) is connected to the vehicle's metal parts. One side of each electrical component is then connected to the metal parts, while the other side is connected, via a switch arrangement and a protective fuse to the positive terminal of the battery. The vehicle's metal parts then act as the return conductor back to the negative terminal of the battery, and we call this a 'chassis ground' or 'chassis earth'. The term 'chassis ground' is also applied to electronic devices where a metal 'chassis' containing the various electronic components provide the 'reference potential' for those components.By contrast, an 'earth ground' describes a direct connection to the general mass of the earth itself -often as a means of limiting a voltage rise, or as a means of providing a low-resistance path back to the supply in the event of an earth fault in order to operate a protective devices such as a fuse or circuit breaker. By common agreement, the general mass of earth is considered to be a zero-potential reference point.As the original answer points out, it is not unusual for a chassis ground to be connected to an earth ground.
vehicle body networking is just a way to use less wire through-out the vehicle e.g instead of running a wire from the rear light to earth on the battery you just earth the rear light to the vehicles chassis.
This sounds like an earth problem check battery to chassis & chassis to engine earth connections also check earth to alternator best wishes

Return to Earth was created in 2006.
All chassis/frame grounds are connected to Earth ground.
"Ground" is an important concept in electronics and it has practical significance. Ground provides a reference from which all other voltages are "measured". It is generally held a zero volts. Ground comes from the old nomenclature of "earth ground" and sometimes it is still referred to as "earth". Occasionally, you will see "chassis ground". Chassis ground refers to the voltage of the electronics chassis, which sometimes is isolated from earth ground and there may be (usually there is) a voltage differential between earth ground and chassis ground. The intent of most three prong plugs is to keep the chassis ground the same voltage as earth ground. If this were not the case, there could be the potential (pun intended) of a nasty shock.
