<p>A circuit for detecting the occurence of a shorted diode in the rotating rectifier (12) of a brushless alternator (10, 11, 12, 13, 14). A sensing circuit (30) is responsive to the direction (25, 26) of current flow through the exciter field winding (10). A reversal of the current indicates that there is a shorted rectifier diode.</p> |
