Abstract
A rectifier module assembly for a conventional three phase AC generator is formed into two crescent shaped rectifier modules so that the rectifier assembly can be mounted directly to the housing of the exciter rotor. The positive and negative rectifier modules are thermally conductive so that the exciter rotor itself can act as a heat sink for the rectifier module assembly. The rectifier module assembly occupies the space between and around the generator shaft and the exciter rotor windings.
