Components rated to operate up to 100°C. Twenty or so years ago, Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) was the acknowledged solution for automotive enthusiasts wanting a high energy ignition circuit. CDI gave a really hot spark which would fire virtually any spark plug no matter how fouled or grotty it was.
This completely new capacitor discharge ignition system has been designed from the ground up to provide a high energy "multiple spark discharge" to cope with engines which have very high RPM rates. It is intended particularly for use with two stroke engines, high performance four strokes and older vehicles.
CONNECTING THE UNIT Disconnect the wires of your existing system from the transformer and connect them to the output of the CDU. Connect the input of the CDU to the transformer. The system is now ready for operation. See the completed wiring diagram for the connections to the capacitor discharge unit.
Third, CDIs used an SCR (silicon controlled rectifier) to discharge the dump capacitor and these are typically rated for an AC supply frequency of 400Hz maximum. While the SCRs will operate at higher frequencies, it is an unspecified condition and it ultimately also sets a limit on the maximum spark rate.
See the completed wiring diagram for the connections to the capacitor discharge unit. The LED can be placed on the main control panel of the layout to indicate the condition of the unit. The LED will light to indicate when the unit is ready. When a point is operated, the LED will extinguish, then come back on when the capacitor charges.
Great care is needed when working on CDi ignition as the source windings produce very high voltages and the capacitor can deliver a nasty electric shock even when the engine is not running. Some systems will charge the capacitor to 200 volts.
