Can someone measure the resistance of the SC14 electromagnet?

[TERRA Operative]

I'm running come calculations and just need to know what the resistance of the electromagnet used in the 1G-GZE SC14 supercharger is.

If someone could measure the resistance of the electromagnet, and then the resistance of their multimeter leads (short them together) and let me know, rep will be forthcoming.


Either that, or an accurate current measurement (amps).

If you can give me step by step instructions as electrics and me have never gotten along....I have a multimeter and a working SC14. Also have a SC14 magnet on the shelf If it can be done off the car?

If the magnet is a 1G-GZE magnet (11cm outer diameter), just set your multimeter to the lowest ohms setting and measure across the two pins.

If it's on the car, just unplug it from the loom and measure between the pins of the plug on the supercharger.


Thanks!!

SC14 magnet, about 10.5cms diameter. Too friggin cold in Melbs to check, luckily had a magnet on the shelf.....

3.3 ohms. (200 ohm setting). Multimeter probes connected to each other, 0.4.

Freaking sweet. That's exactly what I need to know.

+rep!!


FWIW, for those playing at home, there are 296 turns of 0.76mm^2 (1mm dia) wire in the coil.
Dimensions of the actual windings are:
18.5mm high
12.5mm thick
78mm inner diameter
102mm outer diameter
