Abstract: In an apparatus for connecting two generators to run in parallel, having plugs connectable to each generator output socket, an output socket connected to an electrical load, conductive paths that connect the plugs to the output socket while merging to a common path at a junction before the output socket, and a switching circuit that opens/closes the conductive paths, there are equipped with a connecting path that interconnects the conductive paths before the junction, a dummy load installed at the connecting path and current sensors installed at each conductive path. Disconnection of the plug from the socket is detected from the detected currents and the conductive paths are opened not to connect the generators to the electrical load, thereby preventing an output of the other of the generators from appearing at the terminals of the disconnected plug, and further preventing misjudging current change of the instantaneous no load condition as plug disconnection.

Abstract: A detecting means easily detects the abnormality of a generator having a plurality of power supply units. Each of the power supply units includes one of a plurality of output windings L1 to L4, which are wound independently of each other around single iron core, and one of rectifiers 2 to 5 that are provided in correspondence to the output windings and produces an integrated output. Controllers 33 to 35 control the rectifiers such that the output voltage corresponds with a target. A voltage deviation judgment section 37 outputs the abnormal signal when one of the output voltages of the rectifiers 2 to 5 is different from remains. A current deviation judgment section 39 outputs the abnormal signal when one of the output currents of the rectifiers 2 to 5 is different from remains. When the abnormal signal is detected, the outputs of the rectifiers 2 to 5 are stopped.

Abstract: A generator apparatus can provide generated power fit for a connected battery, and even if a load voltage is not within a suitable range, when the load voltage is a certain level or more, the generator can provide power. A selector 25 selects a target voltage for controlling the output voltage of a rectifier 2. An output controller 34 controls the rectifier 2 according to the target. A load judgment section 35 judges the terminal voltage of a battery 19. When the terminal voltage is within an allowable range with respect to the target value, permission for output is given to the output controller 34. When the load voltage is not within the allowable range, an alarm is raised. Even when the alarm is raised, if a load voltage develops which is not less than a predetermined voltage lower than the allowable range, the battery 19 can be charged by forced-output.
