Abstract:
A rectifier assembly includes a terminal arranged along an assembly axis, a mounting ring axially offset from the terminal and seating a diode, a bus bar received within the mounting ring and electrically connecting the diode to the terminal through the bus bar, and a mounting ring. The mounting ring insulator receives the bus bar, is axially offset from the mounting ring, and contains an insert. The insert fixes the bus bar to the mounting ring insulator and compressively fixing the diode within the mounting ring. Generators and methods of making rectifier assemblies for generators are also described.
