ABSTRACT:
To directly mount a generator to an engine block without causing overheating of the generator or a rectifier, a voltage regulator incorporates a rectifier which employs monocrystalline silicon carbide (SIC) MOS power transistors as semiconductor rectifying devices. This voltage regulator is fixed to housings of a generator, and the housings of the generator are directly mounted to an engine block. In this construction, it is possible to prevent overheating of the rectifier in the voltage regulator as well as of armature windings and a field coil of the generator regardless of an increase in the amount of heat transferred to the generator due to direct mounting.
