GeneralWhen the magnetic field in the coil collapses, voltage much higher than Ihe original voltage is induced into the primary windingAs the breaker points open, the currenl lends to continue flowing across the pointsThe resulting arc will damage the points in short time The condenser, by absorbing the surge of nighvoltage, dampens Ihe tendency of current to arc across the points The condenser also allows the magnetic field 10 collapse rapidly, which contributes 10 highvol tage being induced into the secondary windings RemovalCondens.r: 1Remove flywheel2Remove condenser terminal blocklead from breaker point
