The invention relates to a device for automatically regulating the voltage of a generator according to the load current. Said device comprises a first couple of clamps which can be connected to a couple of generator clamps carrying the load current and taps a first generator voltage from the generator coil, a second couple of clamps which can be connected to the couple of generator clamps and picks up a second generator voltage that is smaller than the first generator voltage from the generator coil, a third couple of clamps that supplies a control voltage to a control circuit which is provided with a control relay (9) having a switch for switching the connection between the couple of generator clamps and the first couple of clamps or the second couple of clamps. The couple of generator clamps, which is connected to the first couple of clamps by means of the switch, is connected to the second couple of clamps if the control voltage is greater than or equal to an upper threshold voltage of the control relay while the couple of generator clamps, which is connected to the second couple of clamps by means of the switch, is connected to the first couple of clamps if the control voltage is less than or equal to a lower threshold voltage of the control relay. The inventive device also comprises a bridging element that bridges the connection established by the switch between the couple of generator clamps and the first couple of clamps and is provided with a varistor, the on-state voltage of which lies above the difference between the two generator voltages but below the first generator voltage.
