Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0793013A1] The alternator for the vehicle is used on the one hand as the generator, and on the other hand as the electric motor for starting the vehicle internal combustion engine. The alternator comprises a wound rotor (4) and a stator (5) with several phases connected to a diode bridge (6) and interrupters for the rectification and control of these phases. The alternator also includes a device for the control of the interrupters (7), such that it comprises a unit for recognition of a coded signal transmitted by a transmitter inside the vehicle. The control unit only controls the phases of the stator for starting the internal combustion engine when it receives the coded signal transmission authorising the operation of the starter.
