Breaker points are typically made from materials like tungsten or a tungsten alloy due to their high melting point and excellent conductivity. These materials are chosen for their durability and ability to withstand the wear and tear of opening and closing electrical circuits in ignition systems. Some points may also have a contact surface coated with materials like platinum to improve longevity and performance.
Breaker point contacts are typically made of a tungsten alloy or platinum for durability and to withstand the high temperatures and electrical arcing that occur during operation. These materials have good conductivity and resistance to erosion, making them suitable for the challenging conditions within an ignition system.
Some common faults in a contact breaker system include pitting or burning of the points, improper dwell angle adjustment, worn distributor shaft bushings causing erratic point movement, and incorrect timing settings leading to poor engine performance. Regular maintenance and periodic replacements of the points and condenser can help prevent these issues.
A GFCI device in a breaker is intended to trip the breaker open when a ground fault is sensed in the circuit that the breaker is protecting.
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.
The breaker will have a black wire connected to it. Turn off the main breaker and then disconnect that black wire from the breaker. The breaker will snap into the main bar. Remove the breaker and install the new one. Reconnect the black wire to the breaker and then install the cover and turn the main breaker back on.
The function of the condenser in a breaker points ignition system is to keep the points from sticking together. If the points stick together during ignition it could cause the points to burn up. The condenser sends a signal to the points and then takes the signal away to make the points separate.
The number of degrees the breaker cam rotates from the time the breaker points close until they open again.
0.12-0.15
The number of degrees the breaker cam rotates from the time the breaker points close until they open again.
CLEAN AND ADJUST CONTACT POINTSRemove cover. Clean points with a carborundum contact point stone. Then insert a hard finished card or pied, of paper and close and open points. The paper will absorb any dirt or filings on the points. Adjust breaker points as follows:a. Rotate crankshaft until points open to widest gap.b.. Loosen lock nit illustrated below until it is just snug.c. Rotate breaker point screw to obtain .020" gap.d. When gap is .020" tighten locknut.e. Replace breaker box cover. Same for installation, just eliminate the cleaning. CLEAN AND ADJUST CONTACT POINTSRemove cover. Clean points with a carborundum contact point stone.

If you are talking about points and condensor for your automobile they are located inside of your distributor located on you motor.
For the first 2 games a team has to get 25 points, In the last game (tie breaker) a team has to get 15 points. In most situations you have to win by 2 points.

A double lugged breaker in an electrical circuit is used to provide additional connection points for wires, allowing for increased electrical capacity and distribution within the circuit.
To absorb voltage spikes or surges that occur when the breaker points open and close.
You play a tie-breaker. This is usually 7 points if the games in the set is tied
The points are in parallel with the condenser. Both are connected to ground on one side (screwed to something metal). The other side connects to the coil.
