Abstract: A control apparatus and a control method of an on-vehicle dynamo-electric machine 1 are provided for efficiently controlling functions as a starter-motor and as a charging generator. In case that the dynamo-electric machine 1 acts as a charging generator, when a rotation speed of the dynamo-electric machine 1 is not higher than a predetermined value, a power is generated by applying a compensation current from and inverter to an armature coil 3 for phase control. On the other hand, when a rotation speed of the dynamo-electric machine 1 is not lower than a predetermined value, operation of the inverter is stopped. Thus, controlling a current applied to a field coil 4 by a field coil current control means 5 generates a predetermined target voltage.

Abstract: An automotive AC dynamo-electric machine is capable of providing a sufficient rotational output for starting an engine by running a rotor at high speed in a motor operation mode for starting the engine, thus obviating the need for increasing a size thereof. In the motor operation mode, an electromagnetic clutch follower connects to an electromagnetic clutch main body and also engages a cylindrical member to brake the cylindrical member. An internal gear portion provides a fixed element, and torque of a rotor is transmitted to a power transmission device via a rotor shaft, a sun gear, a planetary gear, and a carrier.
