What is CDI ignition system and what is the advantage of using this system?
Where I can get more information about that?
Advance Thanks for your help

RE: CDI ignition
Inductive ignition needs time (dwell) to fill the coil with energy and time to discharge that energy hence the longer spark duration of the inductive system. A coil that is optimised for CDI system will not work properly with an Inductive System and vice-versa. Commercially available CDI systems can reliably push 150 amps at 450 volts or more through the primary windings of a CD pulse transformer but do so in tens of microseconds.
RE: CDI ignition
An Inductive ignition system generates the voltage as the magnetic field collapses. The CDI generates it as the field is rising.

RE: CDI ignition
A CDI stores the energy in a capacitor which can be charged in microsecs so it works much better at high revs.
RE: CDI ignition
I have an old engine that uses a magneto with breaker points.I would like to convert to CDI can this be done without the use of a battry?If so is there a diagram too follow?
Thanx in advance Sonny
RE: CDI ignition
This is a new question
It would be better if you started a new thread on you specific subject
