12v High Energy Ballast Coil?


Recommended Posts

A Coil Conundrum !

I've had this original Lucas red coil for some time with the thought it might make a good spare for travelling etc. Problem is I'm not completely certain about its suitability for a CR TR6.

 The label says "for use only with 0.9- 1.25 Ohm ballast" and I'm unsure what ballast a CR TR6 loom comes with - could someone advise please?

It also claims to be a "12v High Energy Power Coil" and on a CR TR it will only see 12v for the start-up, then approx 8-9v I think when running.

I've measured the primary resistance and it reads 2.3 Ohm, thats pretty much half way between what I think is normal reading for a ballast coil (1.5 Ohm) and a full 12v coil (3 Ohm) so again I'm not sure if its a good 'un.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers

Bob
