Abstract:
Method for regulating the voltage supplied to A.C. and/or D.C. electric loads connected to a single winding magneto generator, and to the ignition circuit for an internal-combustion engine of a motor-vehicle, in which the electric loads are supplied with half-waves of the output voltage of the magneto generator having a first polarity, comprising the steps of:connecting the electric loads to the single winding of the magneto generator, by an electronic control switch for controlling the voltage supplied in the electric loads during each feeding phase;detecting the voltage existing on the electric loads;regulating the voltage supplied to the electric loads by controlling the start and the time length of conductive state of the control switch, in relation to the voltage detected on the electric loads, during each period of the output voltage half-waves of the magneto generator having said first polarity; andmaintaining no-load working conditions of the magneto generator during an initial period of time of each voltage half-wave, in which said control switch is in a non-conductive state.
