ABSTRACT:
An output power control device for an automotive AC generator includes a field current limiter circuit 9 for controlling the duty factor of the power transistor 305 coupled in series with the field coil 102A of the AC generator 1A, which is supplied with a maximum field current twice the conventional level. A frequency-to-voltage converter 903 converts the input frequency to a voltage corresponding to the rpm of the AC generator 1A, and a comparator 909 compares the sawtooth waveform generated by a sawtooth waveform generator 908 with the output of the frequency-to-voltage converter 903, the upper level of which is limited under a predetermined level by resistors 904 through 906 and a diode 907. When the rpm of the AC generator 1A exceeds a predetermined frequency, the pulse train generated by the comparator 909 reduces the duty factor of the power transistor 305, thereby controlling the level of the output current generated by the AC generator 1A.
