There is disclosed herein a dual voltage power unit for use in automobiles, campers, and the like for normally supplying the relatively low DC voltage from an alternator to a storage battery and other electrical devices of the vehicle and for supplying a higher voltage, such as 115 volts, for external usage such as for lighting, emergency power, and so forth. Several circuits are disclosed herein for providing a dual output DC voltage, or for providing a low DC voltage and a higher AC voltage at 60 hertz. The system includes a rectifier circuit coupled with the output of an alternator for normally providing the usual automotive DC voltage, such as 14.5 volts. A load sensor and control circuit are provided for sensing the demand for the higher voltage and for controlling rectifier circuits to supply the same.
