Abstract: A generator comprises first and second field coils whose combined magnetic flux causes stator current within one or more stator windings which, when rectified via a rectifier circuit, produces rectified output current with reduced voltage fluctuations. A filter circuit extracts the AC component of the rectified output current and delivers it to the second field coil. The magnetic flux generated by the second field coil modifies the magnetic flux of the first field coil effectively cancelling the voltage ripples associated with the rectified output current of the generator.

Abstract: A control device measures a voltage drop across a conductor in a generator to determine and control the total generator output current. A temperature of the conductor is also measured to improve the accuracy. The control device may further improve on the accuracy by compensating for the electrical current through a field coil that may power the generator. The control device may be used in combination with a generator in a vehicle electrical system. Other system parameters may be monitored to improve on the system monitoring, diagnostics, and control. The generator may include a conductor comprising a process-controlled geometric shape.
