    摘要: A rectifier and a vehicle AC generator that can suppress the cost, the rectification loss, and the leakage current from increasing are provided. A rectifier is configured in such a way that in each of n sets, one of a positive electrode side semiconductor device and a negative electrode side semiconductor device is a MOSFET, in such a way that in at least one of the n sets, the other one of the positive electrode side semiconductor device and the negative electrode side semiconductor device is a specific diode, and in such a way that the specific diode is a Schottky barrier diode or a MOS diode, which is a MOSFET whose drain terminal and gate terminal are short-circuited.

    摘要: A centrifugal fan includes: a main plate; and a plurality of blades extending from the main plate in the rotation-axis direction. The plurality of blades include, at least partially, an arrangement in which intervals between the adjacent blades are unequal intervals. A length direction of each blade extends from an inner circumferential side to an outer circumferential side of the main plate. In a pair of the blades adjacent to each other with a smallest interval in a rotation direction among the plurality of blades, the blades positioned on a backward side and a forward side in the rotation direction are different in outer-circumferential-side shapes, and an action of discharging a fluid toward the outer circumferential side by the blade positioned on the backward side in the rotation direction is made smaller as compared to the blade positioned on the forward side in the rotation direction.
