WINDING CONNECTION CONTROLLER AND MAGNETO-GENERATOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magneto-generator equipped with a winding connection controller wherein it is possible to selectively change an output characteristic from the structure of an identical armature winding. SOLUTION: The magneto-generator including the armature winding and a magnet includes: connecting terminals formed at both ends of each coil comprising the armature winding; and a switching element group comprised of multiple switching elements (triacs Q) that short-circuit connecting terminals together or release them. It is further provided with: a winding unit 101 that configures multiple different kinds of armature winding circuits by switching between short-circuiting and releasing of connecting terminals; and a circuit selection control unit 300 that controls turn-on/off of each switching element of the switching element group in the winding unit 101 and thereby selects multiple different kinds of armature winding circuits. Thus output voltage characteristics are adjusted by selection of armature winding circuits. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
