BMET
This is the standard unit of measurement for electrical resistance?
What is an Ohm?
What Manual Covers BMET
What is TC 9-60
This engine-driven component is the primary source of electrical power for the vehicle and recharges the batteries while running.
What is the Alternator (or Generator)?
This heavy-duty electric motor is responsible for physically turning the engine over until it can run on its own.
What is the Starter Motor?
Before performing major electrical repairs or replacing a starter, a 91P must always disconnect this battery cable first to prevent arcing.
What is the (Ground) cable?
You use this specific setting on a Digital Multimeter (DMM) to check if a wire is broken or if a fuse is blown.
What is Continuity?
What manual covers Electrical Test Equipment
What is TM 11-6626-3199-14/ AN/PSM 45A PDF
This critical electronic component prevents the alternator from overcharging the batteries by keeping the output voltage at a safe, constant level.
What is the Voltage Regulator?
This large electromagnetic switch is usually mounted directly on the starter; it closes the heavy electrical contacts and pushes the starter gear forward.
What is the Starter Solenoid?
This is the term for an accidental electrical connection that bypasses the normal load, often causing blown fuses, sparks, or fires.
What is a Short Circuit?
This term refers to the electrical pressure that pushes current through a circuit, measured in units symbolized by "V".
What is Voltage?
What Form(s) is used to Record Equipment Faults?
DA Form 2404/5988-E
This safety device prevents the heavy starting current from flowing if the transmission is not placed in neutral.
What is the Neutral Safety Switch?
In military electrical schematics, the chassis or hull of the vehicle acts as the return path for electricity, commonly referred to as this.
What is the Ground?
According to Ohm's Law, Voltage equals Current multiplied by this.
What is Resistance?
What Technical Manual covers troubleshooting procedures for the M109A6
TM 9-2350-455-23-1
This disposable safety device contains a metal strip that melts and breaks the circuit if too much amperage flows through it.
What is a Fuse?
When measuring current draw (Amperage) with a standard DMM, the meter must be connected in this specific configuration relative to the circuit.
What is in Series?
If a vehicle's charging system completely fails during operation, the electrical system will draw all its remaining power from this component until it dies.
What are the Batteries?
In a TM schematic, solid lines represent wires, while this numeric code printed on the actual wire itself tells you its specific circuit function.
What is a Wire Number
