Nutzfahrzeugtechnik: Grundlagen, Systeme, Komponenten
Das Buch behandelt alle Bereiche der Nutzfahrzeugtechnik. Diese kann in drei Bereiche unterteilt werden: die Typenkunde mit den rechtlichen Grundlagen, die Fahrgestellkonstruktion und die Antriebstechnik. Basierend auf den rechtlichen Vorschriften, deren Kenntnis ausschlaggebend für die Konfiguration eines Nutzfahrzeugs ist und der Fahrmechanik, werden die verschiedenen Nutzfahrzeugtypen vorgestellt.

Sample text
Each of the three sections has a lead connected to it. This allows any of the three sections to be connected to the circuit. The different names for the legs are the emitter, base, and collector. The center section is called the base and is the controlling part of the circuit or the place where the larger controlled part of the circuit is switched. The path to ground is through the emitter. A resistor is normally in the base circuit to keep current flow low. This prevents damage to the transistor.
A temperature-sensitive switch usually contains a bimetallic element heated either electrically or by another component. This type switch is often Copyright 2012 Cengage Learning.

If this were the case in an actual vehicle, there would be literally hundreds of wires connected to the negative battery terminal. To avoid this, manufacturers use a wiring style that uses the vehicle’s metal frame as part of the return circuit. Using the chassis as the negative wire is often referred to as ‘‘grounding,’’ and the connection is called a chassis ground. The wire or metal mounting that serves as the contact to the chassis is commonly called the ground wire or lead (Figure 2-7). An electrical component may be mounted directly to the engine block, transmission case, or frame.
