<p>In a brushless synchronous generator having a three phase, WYE connected exciter armature (18) providing current which is rectified by a half-wave rectifier before energizing a field (26) of a main generator (24), a conductor is required to couple a neutral lead (42) of the exciter armature (18) to a negative input terminal (41n) of the main generator field (26). In order to overcome the foregoing problem, a rotary rectifier assembly (22) for a brushless synchronous generator is disclosed. The rotary rectifier assembly (22) comprises a housing (44), three diodes (D1, D2, D3), three resistors (R1, R2, R3), wherein the diodes (D1, D2, D3) and the resistors (R1, R2, R3) are interconnected to form a three phase half-wave rectifier bridge within the housing (44), and a neutral conductor (43) coupled between the neutral output lead (42) and the negative lead (41n) and carried within the housing (44).</p> |
