PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rectifier assembly placed within a rotating shaft in order to convert the AC output of an electric machine to DC prior to transmission of the electricity from the electric machine.SOLUTION: A rectifier assembly comprises: opposing first and second conductive segments 48, 50; opposing first and second non-conductive segments which couple; a set of diode seats provided on each of the first and second conductive segments so as to face the interior, with a diode seat in one set 74 being paired with a diode seat in the other set; a biasing element overlying each of the diode seats; and a non-conductive support for each of the diode seats and holding the biasing element in place relative to the diode seat. A diode 80 seated on the diode seat is biased by the biasing element against the diode seat and held in place by the non-conductive support. |
