A neutral point diode having three connecting terminals electrically
commonly connected to each other is used in a type for connecting each
generating coil of a three-phase alternating current electric generator
for a vehicle in a Y-shape connection. The coil terminal of a neutral
point side of each generating coil is connected to each of the three
connecting terminals of this neutral point diode. A diode having two
connecting terminals electrically commonly connected to each other is
used in a type for connecting each generating coil in a .DELTA.-shape
connection. The coil terminals of two adjacent generating coils are
connected to the respective two connecting terminals of this diode. In
both the types, one coil terminal is connected to one connecting terminal
and a connecting work is simplified.
