Plural auxiliary devices such as a water pump and a generator coupled to a
serpentine belt-drive system are driven by an internal combustion engine
mounted on an automobile vehicle. The generator is divided into a first
generator having a pulley in which a one-way clutch is installed and a
second generator having a usual solid pulley. Fluctuations in the belt
tension caused by changes in instantaneous rotational speed of the
internal combustion engine are suppressed or reduced by the one-way
clutch installed in the pulley of the first generator. An inertia torque
of a rotor of the first generator may be made higher than that of the
second generator because effects of the inertia torque on the belt
tension fluctuations are alleviated by the one-way clutch.
