Abstract:
1. A control device for an automobile battery-charging generator, used in conjunction with the charging generator that includes a field winding which creates a rotating magnetic field by spinning synchronously with rotation of an internal-combustion engine, and an armature winding influenced by the field winding to generate an electric current, the control device comprising: a rectifier for rectifying alternating-current power generated in the armature winding; and voltage-regulating means for controlling a field current flowing through the field winding, in response to a voltage of a battery charged by direct-current power resulting from the rectification by the rectifier; wherein the voltage-regulating means includes a function that assigns a plurality of electrical characteristics limits or electrical characteristics beforehand, the voltage-regulating means further including a switch terminal to select whether the function that assigns the plurality of electrical characteristics limits or electrical characteristics is to be made effective or ineffective.
