ABSTRACT:
A voltage regulating system is used to regulate the output voltage of an alternating current generator which serves to supply electrical loads on a motor vehicle including a battery. The field winding of the generator is supplied with current through the voltage regulating system operating in a switching mode.
The voltage regulating system includes a voltage sensing circuit connected with the battery, a control transistor connected with the voltage sensing circuit for effecting ON-OFF of a field current, and a protection circuit having a PNP transistor and a zener diode connected between an output terminal of the generator and the voltage sensing circuit which becomes operable to effect ON-OFF of the field current when the voltage sensing circuit is disconnected from the battery, whereby the output voltage of the generator is regulated at a lower level than that regulated by the voltage sensing circuit during such a disconnection.
