ABSTRACT:
A high output alternator and regulator for generating electrical power in a motor vehicle having a storage battery for providing stand-by power at a predetermined voltage. The alternator is a mechanically driven generator having stator windings across which a three-phase AC voltage is produced at an amplitude determined by the amount of current fed through a field winding. A first rectifier is for rectifying the three-phase AC voltage to provide a DC battery voltage to supply other DC voltage loads and a second rectifier rectifies the three-phase AC voltage and inputs into a voltage multiplier circuit which amplifies the rectified voltage. The voltage multiplier circuit inputs the amplified voltage into a voltage regulator having inputs which sense the battery voltage. The voltage regulator outputs the voltage at full or a fractional magnitude of the multiplied DC voltage to control the field current fed through the field winding of the generator to cause a three-phase AC voltage developed across stator windings of the generator to have an amplitude necessary to establish and maintain the DC battery voltage at its predetermined magnitude.
