Abstract

An electrical power supply used on a motor vehicle is interconnected with the vehicle battery, alternator and regulator. The power supply includes a voltage multiplier for multiplying the rectified output voltage from the alternator, and welding sockets for facilitating a welding operation. A multi-pole switch exclusively selects the operating mode of the power supply from among normal battery charging, power appliance operation and welding.
