  • Patent number: 7126295
    Abstract: A stopping noise reduction circuit for a start motor comprises a battery generating a power supply to drive the start motor, a key switch for controlling an on/off of the power supply, a solenoid having a permanent magnet, P and H coils, and a movement contact to drive the start motor, and further comprises a B1 terminal grounded inside the solenoid, an M1 terminal connected to an M terminal of the start motor, and a resistor coupled with the B1 or M1 terminal. In the stopping noise reduction circuit, upon an off condition of the key switch, the movement contact of the solenoid is connected to the B1 and M1 terminals such that more induced current than an induced current flowing into the P and H coils, in a current induced by a rotator of the start motor, flows to ground via the resistor within a short flow time.
