3 x Voltage Regulator Rectifier

What is a voltage regulator rectifier?
A regulator rectifier is a standard component of this circuitry. In any case, the regulator rectifier converts the AC power into DC power, then regulates the DC power to ensure that the power doesn't go over around 14.5 volts. At this point, the DC voltage routes to the battery of the bike.
The simplest rectifiers, called half-wave rectifiers, work by eliminating one side of the AC, thereby only allowing one direction of current to pass through.

How does a voltage regulator rectifier work?
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. 

What is the purpose of a regulator rectifier?
The rectifier regulator converts AC power to DC allowing the alternator to charge the battery, and controls the amount of power delivered to the battery. Without a functioning rectifier-regulator, a weak, dead, or overcharged battery would be the result.

What is the difference between a voltage regulator and a rectifier?
Perhaps the biggest thing to note is that a rectifier converts input AC power into DC electrical power. Regulators are, on the other hand, systems configured to automatically maintain a constant voltage level to protect various apparatus against damage that can be caused by fluctuating voltage.

What's inside a rectifier?
The rectifier circuit, which is typically made from a set of cleverly interlocked diodes, converts alternating current to direct current. ... A better type of rectifier circuit uses four rectifier diodes, in a special circuit called a bridge rectifier.

Can I use any regulator rectifier?
They all work in the same way though and are pretty interchangeable. Once you get into slightly older bikes, you start to see seperate regulators and rectifiers. If they still have a 3 phase, 12v charging system with magnets, these are interchangeable too, and interchangeable with a modern, 'one piece' unit.

Does alternator have Rectifier?
Every Auto, Truck, Farm, Industrial, Marine Alternator has inside it what is called a Bridge Rectifier. The Bridge Rectifier is the assembly in every alternator that converts the AC (alternating current) that alternators make to DC (direct current) for use by the vehicles battery & electrical system.

Why does my rectifier get hot?
It's normal for an OEM shunt-type regulator/rectifier (RR) to get quite hot — especially when the load being drawn by the electrical system is low. The RR is simply converting excess stator output wattage (that isn't needed to run the bike and charge the battery) to heat. That's why there are cooling fins on the RR.

What is a 3 phase rectifier?
Definition: A 3 Phase rectifier is a device which rectifies the input AC voltage with the use of 3 phase transformer and 3 diodes which are connected to each of the three phases of transformer secondary winding.

What happens when the regulator rectifier goes bad?
In general, there are two primary ways that the regulator rectifier can fail. First, the diode can burnout and cause the battery to drain. You won't have any trouble diagnosing the faulty regulator rectifier if the battery is the cause. ... around 13 volts, the bike will start to drain the battery.
