Mobile AC power system

A portable generator assembly, comprising:

• an alternator installable in a vehicle, the alternator comprising:
• a housing defining an alternator interior space;
• a rotor coil disposed in the alternator interior space and rotatably supported by the housing, the rotor coil generating a magnetic field;
• a plurality of stator windings supported by the housing and positioned in the magnetic field for generating an AC output signal;
• a voltage regulator being electrically connected to the rotor coil for controlling the intensity of the magnetic field;
• a rectifier having an input and an output, the input of the rectifier being electrically connected to the stator windings such that the input of the rectifier receives the AC output signal generated by the stator windings, the rectifier converting the AC output signal to a DC output signal;
• and
• an AC output port electrically connected to the stator windings for receiving the AC output signal, and providing access to the AC output signal such that the AC output signal can provide AC power at a location outside of the housing;
• and
• a power converter positioned outside of the housing of the alternator, the power converter comprising:
• a transformer receiving the AC output signal from the AC output port and increasing the voltage of the AC output signal to at least about 120 V;
• a frequency changer receiving the AC output signal having the increased voltage, and converting the frequency of the AC output signal to a frequency between about 45 to about 65 Hz;
• and
• an electrical outlet receiving the AC output signal having the increased voltage and converted frequency.
