According to the invention, a tandem alternator includes a rotary shaft, a first and a second field arranged in tandem on the rotary shaft, and a first and a second armature arranged in tandem in the axial direction of the rotary shaft. The first armature is provided on an outer periphery of the first field to constitute a first power generation unit. The second armature is provided on an outer periphery of the second field to constitute a second power generation unit. The first and second fields are arranged to abut each other in the axial direction of the rotary shaft, so as to minimize the axial length of the alternator. The first and second fields are configured to respectively create a first and a second magnetomotive force whose directions are opposite to each other, so as to minimize magnetic leakage between the first and second power generation units.
