1. A slip-detecting device for a driving belt of a generator, the generator being driven by a driver via the driving belt and being electrically connected to a battery and electric loads, the device comprising:

  • driver speed detecting means for detecting a rotational speed of the driver;

    isolating means for isolating the battery from the generator and simultaneously raising an output voltage of the generator;

    generator speed detecting means for detecting, when the battery is isolated from the generator and the output voltage is raised by the isolating means, a rotational speed of the generator based on fluctuation of the output voltage thereof; and

    slip detecting means for detecting a slip of the driving belt based on the detected driver rotational speed and the detected generator rotational speed.
