Si Series

A rectifier bridge, connected to stator windings, contains 6 diodes (3 positive and 3 negative) molded into an assembly. This rectifier bridge changes stator AC voltage into DC voltage, which appears at output terminal.

Alternator field current is supplied through a diode trio which is also connected to stator windings. A capacitor is mounted to end frame, protecting rectifier bridge and diodes from high voltage and suppressing radio interference noise.
