In a motorcycle wiring harness, a diode is commonly applied in the charging circuit to prevent backflow of current from the battery to the alternator when the engine is off. It can also be used in the lighting circuit to protect against voltage spikes, ensuring that the electrical components are not damaged. Additionally, diodes can be employed in rectifier circuits to convert AC to DC for powering electrical accessories. Proper placement helps maintain the integrity and functionality of the motorcycle's electrical system.

Where is the cooling fan diode assembly on a 2000 Cherokee sport?

I am actually looking for a fan diode assembly for my friends 1990 Cherokee lardeo. The diode on the Laredo is located on the drivers side wiring harness near the front headlight. It is a red flat diode with three wires and looks much like a flat connector plug (it measures 1 1/4" long x 1/2" wide x 1/4" thick)


What is the significance of piv of diode?

The PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage) rating of a diode is the maximum voltage that you should apply to it in the reverse biased condition. Exceeding this voltage can destroy the diode.


How do you forward-bias a diode?

You need to apply an external voltage across the diode. The negative terminal must be connected to the N type material.


What is a device made of semiconductor material that acts like a switch controlling the flow of electrons in a chip?

if a diode is in forward biased the diode acts as switch is on and when we apply the diode in reverse biased then it work as the switch as off.


What is unbiased diode?

when we do not apply any source of energy or electricity than a Dodie is said to be un biased Dodie.


Why is your radiator fan not running?

You should check the fuse, and also do a computer diognostic. You could need a new radiator fan relay or wiring or diode wiring, or a new fan altogether.


What is the PIV rating of diode?

A diode will provide saturating current if it reaches its Piv. What it should be well at least 1.5 of the applied reverse voltage. For AC at least 2 times to insure that the peak REVERSE voltage is blocked


What is peak inverse voltage with reference to diodes?

The maximum voltage which can apply When diode in reverse bias..if it is exceed that voltage the diode may get damage.


My 2000 Nissan Altima has a relay at the ECM How do I check this 4 pin relay 1 and 2 is resistance and 3 and 5 are normal open The socket has a 12 vdc wire?

to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity. to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity.


Where is the battery charging system on your 25 hp Briggs Its on a simplicity 12.5 lth riding mower?

The alternator (stator) is located underneath the flywheel. The rotor is the flywheel itself (the magnets are inside the flywheel). AC voltage is sent from the alternator to either a rectifier or diode pack (depending on model). From there, DC voltage is sent to the battery, via the wiring harness.


How is zener diode different from a conventional diode or ideal diode?

zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage


How do you test a diode bridge?

How to test a diode bridge ? Diode bridge is a device is used to convert an AC signals (say AC voltage) to DC output (say DC voltage). So, to test it, you can apply a AC voltage v = Vm Sin (wt) at its 2 inputs and measure DC output voltage Vdc.
