Study Notes
Magnetic Type Fuel Quantity Indicators
- Utilized alongside float-operated variable resistance transmitters in fuel tanks.
- Full float position generates minimal resistance, which allows maximum current to flow.
- Maximum current flow results in maximum deflection of the fuel quantity indicator's pointer.
- As fuel level decreases, transmitter resistance increases.
- Increased transmitter resistance leads to reduced current flow in the fuel quantity indicator.
- Smaller current flow corresponds to smaller pointer deflection, indicating lower fuel levels.
