It does two things: 1) It converts the AC power current coming from your stator in to a DC current and, 2) It regulates the how high the voltage can go (the faster the engine speed the more voltage produced by the stator) so you don't burn out and electrical components in your system such as lights etc.

∙ 11y agoThe rectifier "rectifies", or converts, AC current coming from the AC dynamo (alternator) into DC current that the battery and and electrical accessories can use.

If input frequency of a full wave rectifier be n then uotput frequency would be?
2n
Does a transformer rectify the alternating current?
No, a transformer changes the ac to a voltage that the user requires. After that a rectifier can be connected to it to provide dc.
What is the fastest 600cc motorcycle?
Yamaha R6
What is a three phase full wave converter?
simplified circuit for three phase cycloconveretr?
How do you convert 120 VAC to 120 VDC?
Of course you can! A transformer can change the voltage from 120 to 36. A rectifier can turn AC into DC. If you need constant voltage, capacitors to regulate flow can be added.
Why do you need a rectifier on a motorcycle?
Yes
How do you tell if a motorcycle rectifier is bad?
how can u tell if the rectifier is bad on a 2001 suzuki intruder 1500lc
What is a motorcycle rectifier?
A rectifier converts AC current to DC current. The opposite of an inverter. http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier http:/www.tech-faq.com/what-is-a-rectifier.shtml
Are the rectifier and regulator the same unit on a 1980 Honda 650 motorcycle?
Basically yes- It uses a rectifier in place of a regulator
Where is the voltage rectifier on a 1985 Suzuki Gs300 L?
The voltage rectifier is on the left side of the motorcycle just in front of the rear tire.
1980 Honda 650 motorcycle is overcharging and the rectifier has already been changed what else could be wrong?
could be a regulator if it is separate from rectifier, could be a faulty rectifier (ive had a new faulty one)
1980 Honda 650 motorcycle is overcharging what could be wrong?
Could be a bad rectifier
What keeps a battery on a motorcycle running?
The battery is charged by a generator that runs through a regulator-rectifier. The generator outputs AC voltage and the rectifier converts the voltage to DC. The generator is normally mounted inside the engine on the flywheel.
How do you test a rectifier for Harley Davidson motorcycle?
check for stator AC output first, check specs for your year, that has to work properly under load to go any further, then check for 12.75-13.50 VDC at the battery with it running, if it tests OK at the stator plug and shows battery voltage dropping instead of climbing at fast idle, suspect the rectifier/regulator It is impossible to test the rectifier, but it is built into the regulator/rectifier and you can test the regulator. Buy a manual!
Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
What is a regulator on a motorcycle?
A regulator is referring to a regulator rectifier which converts the ac voltage put out by the stator to dc voltage and regulates it to a consistent voltage usually 12-14 volts dc.
Why do we use rectifier kit?
