Abstract

A vehicle generator is arranged so as to avoid battery overcharging and damage to electronic components caused by short-circuiting of the rotor coil. The rotor coil is wound around the coil bobbin such that the initial winding end of the rotor coil is connected with the regulator, while the final winding end of the rotor coil is connected directly with the battery. Tie parts formed on the edge of the coil bobbin and lug ends formed on the slip ring assembly are correspondingly distinguishably formed, to ensure proper connection of the initial and final winding ends of the rotor coil.
