Abstract
To prevent the revolving speed of an electric-power generator driving engine from abruptly increasing when electric power generation by an electric power generator which supplies electric power to a wheel-driving motor is stopped. A control apparatus 4 for a vehicle-use electric power generator, intended to control the amount of electric power generated by an electric power generator 2 which is connected to, and driven by, an engine 1 for driving a vehicle, wherein a wheel speed detection means 7 is equipped to ensure that when the amount of electric power generated is to be reduced, if the wheels are not slipping, the amount of electric power generation by the electric power generator is slowly reduced in comparison with the case that the wheels are slipping.
