Abstract
To provide for improved starting and rapid supply of power from a generator coupled to an internal combustion engine, typically an automotive-type engine, a connection is provided between the starter network and the field of the generator coupled to the internal combustion engine to supply power from the on-board battery network of the vehicle to the field winding of the generator upon starting so that the field will be externally excited during starting, the generator thereby being provided immediately with field current and not relying on remanent magnetism for supply of power therefrom.
