Abstract
A three-phase alternator protection component is associated with a rectifying bridge. Three Shockley diodes and an avalanche diode are interconnected through three electrodes, of a first polarity, of the Shockley diodes, and the electrode, of the opposite polarity, of the avalanche diode to a common terminal that is connected to the output terminal, having a first polarity, of the rectifier. Each second electrode of the Shockley diodes is connected to each output of the alternator, and the second terminal of the avalanche diode is connected to the second output terminal of the rectifier.
