1. A dual output alternator system, having a first output for providing first and second output voltages at first and second outputs of the dual alternator system, the dual output alternator system comprising:

  • an alternating current (ac) voltage source controllable by controlling a field current thereof, said ac voltage source having an output and an internal inductance;

    a rectifier having an input coupled to the ac voltage source having a first output and having a second output, each of the first and second outputs coupled to respective ones of the first and second output of the dual output alternator system;

    a sensor having an input coupled to at least one of said ac voltage source, an engine and a back emf signal source and having an output; and

    a control system having a first input coupled to the output of said sensor, a second input coupled to at least one of the first and second outputs of the dual output alternator system and a first output coupled to said rectifier.
