Abstract
A rectifier assembly includes first and second housings surrounding a pair of electrical rings. Each of the electrical rings communicates with a pin. Bolts secure a spring to hold diodes against an inner wall of the electrical rings. The first housing includes openings opposed to the bolts to allow access to the bolts for tightening the bolts to hold the spring, and bias the diodes against the inner periphery of the electrical rings. A rotor balance assembly, a generator, and a method of assembling a rectifier assembly are also disclosed and claimed.
