<p>A power generator system, including an inductive generator for producing a generator electrical signal. The inductive generator contains electrically conductive stator field coil windings and an electrically conductive ferromagnetic disk-shaped rotor. The inductive generator is configured for under-the-hood installation and includes an input crankshaft for being externally driven by a motor vehicle engine. The generator is electrically coupled to an electronic control unit which responds to amplitude and frequency variation of the electrical signal, due to fluctuations in vehicle engine speed, and produces an output power signal having substantially constant voltage, substantially constant frequency, and at least one phase. The electronic control unit includes a three-phase vector controller for regulating the generator electrical signal which charges a DC voltage bus, a processor for monitoring the voltage level of the DC voltage bus, and an AC inverter which receives the DC voltage bus voltage, converts it into the output power signal and supplies the signal to an output connector in order to accommodate the connection of electrical devices to the system. If the vehicle engine speed is idle, the system implements a throttle control mechanism, coupled to the vehicle engine throttle, to adjust the engine speed in order to provide an adequate output power signal. The system also employs a safety shut-down subsystem for terminating operations of the generator in the event of a fault condition, such as, for example, generator overheating, generator current overload, and system overload.</p> |
