ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for controlling generation of power to be generated by a generator driven by an engine mounted on a vehicle equipped with an electrical load operative on the power from the generator, the generator including a field winding to which current is supplied on the power, and a duty cycle of the current being increased to maintain the power of the generator, the apparatus comprising duty cycle limit means for limiting an increasing rate of the duty cycle in response to an increase in an amount of the load when the engine is in an idle state; rotation frequency detecting means for detecting the rotation frequency of the engine; and limit value deciding means for deciding a limit value for the increasing rate of the duty cycle to a greater value than a limit value corresponding to the idle state, when the rotation frequency detecting means detects a decrease in the rotation frequency.
