What is a Spark Plug?

A Spark Plug is an item containing two or more electrodes across which an electric spark is discharged to ignite a fuel and air mixture, primarily in internal combustion engines. Excludes GLOW PLUG; and ELECTRODE.

What is an Electrical Engine Starter?

An Electrical Engine Starter (STARTER,ENGINE,ELECTRICAL) is an item consisting of an electric, direct current, motor and integral and associated components, primarily designed to crank an internal combustion engine, or a gas turbine engine until it starts operating under its own power. May include facilities for manual or mechanical actuation. Excludes MOTOR, ENGINE STARTER, ELECTRICAL; STARTER, MOTOR; STARTER, ENGINE (as modified); and SWITCH, ENGINE STARTER, ELECTRICAL.

What is an Engine Accessory Generator?

An Engine Accessory Generator (GENERATOR,ENGINE ACCESSORY) is a generator primarily designed to be mounted on an internal combustion engine, and to be driven by the engine to keep the battery in a charged condition. May also supply current for the engine ignition system and/or electrical equipment which is connected to the battery circuit. Includes alternating current generators designed for use with a rectifier. Excludes the major generator of "GENERATING SETS". For generators specifically designed for aircraft use and not mounted on the engine, see GENERATOR, DIRECT CURRENT.

What is an Engine Generator Parts Kit?

An Engine Generator Parts Kit (PARTS KIT,ENGINE GENERATOR) is excludes PARTS KIT, ELECTRICAL CONTACT BRUSH HOLDER and BRUSH SET, ELECTRICAL CONTACT.

NATO Supply Class 2920 is a classification for Engine Electrical System Components, Nonaircraft. It falls under NATO Supply Group 29, which is specifically for Engine Accessories.

Engine Electrical System Components, Nonaircraft (NATO Supply Class 2920) refers to a wide range of electrical components that are used in engines for non-aircraft applications. These components are essential for the proper functioning of the engine's electrical system.

Some examples of Engine Electrical System Components, Nonaircraft include:

1. Starters: These are electric motors that are used to start the engine by cranking it until it reaches the required speed for ignition.

2. Alternators: Alternators are responsible for generating electrical power in the engine. They convert mechanical energy into electrical energy to charge the battery and power the electrical systems of the engine.

3. Ignition Systems: These systems are used to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine's combustion chamber. They typically consist of spark plugs, ignition coils, and control modules.

4. Voltage Regulators: Voltage regulators are used to maintain a steady voltage output from the alternator to prevent damage to the electrical components of the engine.

5. Sensors: Various sensors are used in the engine's electrical system to monitor parameters such as temperature, pressure, and speed. These sensors provide crucial data for engine control and diagnostics.

6. Wiring Harnesses: Wiring harnesses are bundles of electrical wires that connect various components of the engine's electrical system. They ensure proper electrical connectivity and prevent wire damage.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 2920 specifically refers to non-aircraft engine applications. For aircraft engine electrical components, a different supply class would be used.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 2920 plays a vital role in ensuring the efficient and reliable operation of engine electrical systems in non-aircraft applications.
