Automatic voltage regulator with function for suppressing overshoot

An automatic voltage regulator of a generator which regulator keeps an output voltage at a predetermined voltage by controlling exciting currents of said generator with turning a switching device on and off depending on a pulse width, the regulator comprising:

• a voltage detection means for detecting the output voltage of said generator;
• a deviation calculation means for calculating a deviation for a target voltage with respect to a detected detection voltage;
• an integral-value calculation means for calculating an integral value of said deviation;
• a pulse signal calculation means for calculating said pulse width based on an integral coefficient, a proportional coefficient, said deviation, and the integral value of said deviation, and for outputting said pulse width as a pulse signal;
• and
• a function for suppressing an overshoot,
• wherein when after voltage establishment the generator is judged to be in a load short-circuit condition and a heavy load application condition, said pulse width is fixed at all conductive condition, the integral value of said deviation is made zero by said integral value calculation means, and said target voltage is replaced with a third reference voltage that is not less than said detection voltage and less than said set voltage;
• wherein when after voltage establishment the generator is in a load short-circuit condition and a heavy load application condition and said detection voltage is not less than said target voltage, said target voltage is replaced so as to increase in incremental steps for every predetermined value until said target voltage reaches said set voltage;
• wherein when after voltage establishment said target voltage reaches said set voltage, said target voltage is replaced with said set voltage;
• and
• wherein said switching device inputs said pulse signal calculated by said pulse signal calculation means as a signal of said pulse width.
