Abstract
An alternating current generator for vehicles includes a stator, a rotor having a Lundell type core and a magnetic field winding, first and second cooling fans which are fixed to an axial end surface of the Lundell type core and generate cooling air along with the rotation of the rotor, and a fan base which is disposed between the second cooling fan and the Lundell type core and regulates the cooling air. The Lundell type core includes a plurality of U-shaped clearances formed in the outer periphery of the axial end surface being circumferentially spaced apart from each other. The fan base includes a plurality of alternately and circumferentially disposed large-diameter portions and small-diameter portions, with at least one of the small-diameter portions being disposed axially confronting a U-shaped clearance.
