The nominal voltage in the vehicle's electrical system is 12 V. The electrical equipment is designed using a single-wire circuit. The negative terminal of the battery is connected to the housing, which acts as a second electrical wire. The battery is located in the engine compartment.
The starter has a forced movement of the engine drive gear by means of an electromagnetic traction relay. The car is equipped with a Bosch starter. The starter switch is an integral part of the ignition switch and, when turned on, activates the electromagnetic traction relay installed in the starter.
The car can be equipped with generators from Delco Remy or Bosch. The maximum output current of the generator is 100 A.
The generator is driven by a V-belt from the engine crankshaft. On the cover on the side of the contact rings there is a voltage regulator. There is a control lamp on the instrument panel that monitors the battery charging process. If the lamp does not go out when the engine is running, this indicates a problem with the battery charging process.
When working with electrical equipment, certain safety precautions should always be observed:
a) Be careful - electrical appliances are especially susceptible to damage if not handled correctly during testing, connection and maintenance.
b) Do not leave the ignition on for a long time with the engine off.
c) Never disconnect the battery cables while the engine is running.

d) When connecting the wires from the auxiliary power source during emergency engine starting, observe the polarity.
e) Always disconnect the negative battery cable first and reconnect it last to avoid short circuits if a tool accidentally touches it while loosening/tightening the terminal clamp.
