ENGINE STARTER WITH PROTECTIVE FUNCTION AGAINST OVER CURRENT IN WHICH SECTION REDUCTION PART OF CONNECTOR BAR QUICKLY AND RELIABLY CUTS OFF INTERNAL CIRCUIT OF MOTOR WHEN OVER CURRENT IS SUPPLIED TO ENGINE STARTER

摘要

In a starter for starting an engine having a motor to which starting current is supplied from a battery, the motor has a field coil for forming a magnetic field with the supply of current, and the starter has wiring for supplying current from the battery to the field coil. The wiring has a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, which is smaller than a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the winding of the field coil, so that a cross section reduction portion is integrated into the wiring. The cross section reduction portion functions as a fuse for shutting down an internal circuit of the motor at an earlier occasion when an overcurrent passes through the internal circuit.
