Microcomputer-controlled DC three-wire circuit for vehicle
This patent describes a microcomputer-controlled DC three-wire circuit for a vehicle, comprising; first and second charging generators driven by an engine of the vehicle and magnetically separated from one another, and each having a rectifier; a first voltage regulator for detecting an output voltage of the first charging generator, and for controlling the output voltage to a first predetermined value; a second voltage regulator for detecting an output voltage of the second charging generator, and for controlling the output voltage to a second predetermined value; a first battery switch unit, a first battery connected through the first battery switch unit between a pair of terminals of the first charging generator; a starter switch electrically connected to at least the first battery; a second battery switch unit, a second battery connected through the second battery switch unit between a pair of terminals of the second charging generator; and an electric load connected between a positive terminal of one of the charging generators and a negative terminal of the other of the charging generators.
