Abstract
The present invention is a rectifier assembly, which has a first support and a second support. The supports have either a ring or plate shape. Each support has an inner peripheral surface with inwardly facing diode mounting surfaces. A diode is mounted to each of the inwardly facing diode mounting surfaces. Phase connectors connect one diode from the first support with one diode from the second support. The supports are received within an electrically insulated housing. The diodes are connected to the supports such that when assembled, each diode is perpendicular to a central axis that extends along a length the electrically insulated housing. During operation of the rectifier assembly, both supports rotate about the axis.
