Electromagnetic Interference Suppression in a Vehicle Horn Circuit.

Abstract

In a military vehicle having an electric horn actuator circuit, the improvement comprising the addition of a capacitor in the circuit at a location between a brush and contact ring assembly disposed within the vehicle steering column. The capacitor is electrically located in close connection to the brush-contact ring interface to respond effectively to voltage/current surges initiated at the brush-contact ring interface. The capacitor can be installed in existing vehicles in a retrofit operation. (Author)
