<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anomaly detector for accurately determining whether or not an alternator for vehicles is faulty even though the connecting state of an electric load or the state of a battery changes. <P>SOLUTION: A generation controller 2 for vehicles includes analog-to-digital converters 204, 205 and a microcomputer 206. The analog-to-digital converters detect the period Tb of the output voltage of a generator 1 for vehicles equipped with a polyphase armature winding 101 and a rectifier 103 for rectifying the polyphase output of this armature winding 101. Further, they detect the period Tp of voltage occurring in any phase winding of the armature winding 101. The converters compare the detected two different periods Tb, Tp with each other to determine whether or not the generator 1 for vehicle is faulty. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
