ABSTRACT:
A rotating rectifier includes diode subassemblies that each have an AC contact between two diodes, held in place by a spring clip or interference fit between an inner DC bus and an outer DC bus. The outer DC bus can also act as a housing and heat sink. Diodes and resistors are distributed around the rotating rectifier. Zener diodes can be included in series with the resistors to provide further protection to the diodes to ensure proper operation of the rectifier.
