Electrical generator control method e.g. for automobile alternator uses detected variation in revs of drive engine for limiting drive belt torque by regulating generator energising current

摘要

The generator control method detects the variation in the revs of the combustion engine used for driving the electrical generator (1) via a belt drive, for limiting the torque transmitted via the belt drive, by regulating the generator energising current to a maximum energising current value, determined from the detected variation in the engine revs, using a generator regualtor (8). An Independent claim for a device for controlling an electrical generator is also included.
