    摘要: A multivoltage electrical system for a motor vehicle that has a pair of storage batteries which, in a first charging mode are charged in series from the direct voltage output terminals of a bridge rectifier connected to an alternating current generator. In a second charging mode, only one of the batteries is charged and this takes place when a plurality of controlled rectifiers connecting the generator and a common junction of the batteries are gated conductive. The switching between modes is a function of the voltage of one of the batteries and the voltage of a triangular voltage waveform generator operating at a fixed frequency. The system is maintained in the second mode when generator speed is below a predetermined value.

    摘要: A windshield heater element for an automotive vehicle is controlled to provide a maximum power deice mode of operation and a reduced power defog mode of operation. The deice mode of operation is initiated in response to an operator actuated deice command and is terminated in response to the first to occur of expiration of a predetermined time period after initiation, or an operator actuated off command. The defog mode of operation is initiated in response to termination of a preceding deice mode of operation provided that such termination was not in response to an operator actuated off command, or an operator actuated defog command. The defog mode of operation is terminated in response to the first to occur of expiration of a predetermined time period after initiation provided that such initiation was not in response to an operator actuated defog command, or an operator actuated off command. Further, the deice mode of operation is permitted only when the vehicle transmission is in the park or neutral state, and the idle speed of the engine is raised above the normal idle speed to ensure that the power produced by the engine driven generator is adequate to meet the combined power requirement of the windshield heater element and other vehicle loads during the deice mode of operation. Additionally, the energization of the heater element is terminated or prohibited in response to detection of an abnormally high windshield temperature condition, an abnormally low battery voltage condition, an abnormally low heater current condition, or vehicle ignition shut-off.

    摘要: A high DC voltage power supply includes a three-phase autotransformer and a three-phase full-wave rectifier applied to the usual motor vehicle electrical system of the low DC voltage type. The low three-phase AC voltage of the usual system is transformed by the autotransformer to obtain a high three-phase AC voltage which is then rectified by the rectifier to provide a high DC voltage. The load energized by the high DC voltage is ungrounded to reduce the voltage available for inadvertent discharge from either load terminal to ground. Switching apparatus is provided for selectively applying the low three-phase AC voltage to the autotransformer only when it is desired to energize the load thereby avoiding at all other times the energy losses that would otherwise be associated with energization of the autotransformer. In one embodiment, the load is a windshield heater element and the autotransformer has multiple sets of input taps to provide deice and defog modes of operation, respectively. The tapping of the autotransformer on the input or primary side yields efficiencies in the construction and operation of the autotransformer. The engine driven generator of the vehicle electrical system is excited from a voltage source independent of the low three-phase AC voltage put out by the generator, at least during any period that the generator is overloaded, thereby to prevent a degenerative collapse in the generator output voltage.

    摘要: An improvement is provided for an electrically heated glass panel of the type where a resistive film is disposed on the panel and is connected between and along the length of a pair of spaced bus bars each of which is terminated in a respective voltage input terminal and where one of the bus bars includes a connector section to which the resistive film is not connected extending from the input terminal of the bus bar to a junction point on the bus bar beyond which the resistive film is connected to the bus bar. A sensor conductor is disposed on the glass panel and connected from at or beyond the junction point on the one bus bar to a sensor terminal and extends generally adjacent to the connector section of the bus bar. Prior to applying a high voltage across the input terminals of the bus bars to energize the resistive film when it is desired to heat the glass panel, a low voltage incapable of producing an arc across any break in the connector section of the one bus bar is applied to the input terminal of such bus bar. The power supply is disabled in response to the presence of a predetermined voltage difference between the sensor terminal and the input terminal of the one bus bar indicating the presence of a break in the connector section of the bus bar so as to prevent the development of an arc across the break.
