  • Diode interconnection in an alternator rectifier
    Patent number: 6828703
    Abstract: An alternator having a plurality of positive and negative diodes, is disclosed. The alternator further includes a plurality of stator windings each of the plurality of stator windings has a first end and a second end, and a first diode plate for fixing one of the plurality of positive and plurality of negative diodes in a first orientation. Further, the alternator includes a second diode plate for fixing the other of the plurality of negative and plurality of positive diodes in a second orientation. Each of the anodes of the positive diodes are connected to each of the cathodes of the negative diodes and to at least one end of each of the plurality of stator windings to form a rectifier bridge circuit.
