Abstract
A starter motor is prevented from being rotated together with an engine after the start of a engine. When motor speed exceeds the cranking speed after the start of the engine, a speed judging sectionjudges that the starter motor is rotated together with the engine. A current-supply stopping sectioncommands to stop energizing a motorin response to the judge. After the electricity supply is stopped, if the rotation speed is reduced to a value close to the cranking speed, judging sectionoutputs a signal to cancel the current-supply stopping commands from the current-supply stopping section. The detection of the motor speed is also continued even after the ignition, and if the speed is further increased, the speed detection is stopped. If the speed is increased to a value showing complete explosion, the speed judging sectionswitches the relays to a generator.
