Abstract
According to the invention, an apparatus for detecting slip of a drive belt ( ) of a generator ( ) driven by a drive motor ( ) is proposed, in which the slip of a drive belt ( ) can be determined by observation of the on-board electrical system voltage (U ) and of the signal course at the terminal (DF) of the generator ( ). For determining the slip, the largest possible electrical load ( ) is switched, and the voltage course of the on-board electrical system voltage (U ) before and after the switching of the electrical load ( ) is evaluated. By additional observation of the signal at the terminal (DF) of the generator ( ), it is precluded that electrical consumers that are not observed could adulterate the result.
