Abstract
An electric power generating system for a vehicle includes a generator having a field coil, a voltage regulator, a temperature sensor for sensing temperature of the voltage regulator, a field current restricting circuit that directly restricts field current if temperature of the voltage regulator becomes higher than a maximum level and a device that prevents temperature of the voltage regulator from further rising without directly restricting field current if temperature of the voltage regulator becomes a warning level that is lower than the maximum level.
