Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
IN A VEHICULAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INCORPORATING A BATTERY CHARGING CIRCUIT INCLUDING VOLTAGE PRODUCING MEANS HAVING A FIELD WINDING THEREIN, A TRANSISTOR TYPE REGULATOR HAVING AN OUTPUT TRANSISTOR AND MEANS FOR CONNECTING THE SAME BETWEEN THE OUTPUT OF THE VOLTAGE PRODUCING MEANS TO CONTROL THE CURRENT THEREIN, A THERMISTOR HAVING A NEGATIVE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT AND ADAPTED TO BE LOCATED IN THERMAL PROXIMITY TO A HEAT VULNERABLE ELEMENT OF THE SYSTEM, MEANS CONNECTING SAID THERMISTOR TO SAID OUTPUT TRANSISTOR TO DECREASE THE FORWARD BIAS THEREON AS THE RESISTANCE OF SAID THERMISTOR DECRESES THEREBY REDUCING THE CURRENT IN SAID FIELD WINDING OF SAID VOLTAGE PRODUCING MEANS.
