Why is the direction of diodes in alternator diode trio is opposite to the direction of diodes in the rectifier bridge?

A three phase alternator will have six diodes in the rectifier bridge, three with their anodes connected to the phases, and cathodes commoned to the positive terminal, and three with the cathodes connected to the phases, and anodes commoned to the negative terminal, which is likely the housing of the alternator. The trio diodes arrangement will match the positive rectifiers, i.e. anodes to the phase connections, cathodes (denoted usually by a stripe around the body on small diodes), connected to the D+ terminal

Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier for low voltage applications?
there is no need of bulky centre tap in a bridge rectifier. TUF(transformer utilisation factor) is considerably high. output is not grounded. diodes of a bridge rectifier are readily available in market. *the PIV(peak inverse voltage) for diodes in a bridge rectifier are only halfof that for a centre tapped full wave rectifier,which is of great advantage.
What is the use of bridge rectifier?
Most of the circuits comprising of electronic components run on dc supply.. As DC supply is not available directly for us, we use either 230/12V or 230/18V transformer to stepdown the available 230V (in some countries it is 110v) and then convert it into dc using a rectifier. As a bridge rectifier is more efficient than a conventional full wave rectifier, about 81.2%, it is widely used in such type of circuits.
Purpose of bridge diode in a power supply?
Bridge diodes are generally used in a bridge rectifier to convert AC into DC.
Can you give 230V ac directly to bridge rectifier?
Yes, if the diodes that the bridge rectifier are rated for 230V in forward and reverse voltages. Normally you can do a search for the part number on the internet and get specs there.
How do you take both ac and DC from car alternator?
An Alternator produces AC (the clue is in the name) Alternating Current.Add in a Bridge rectifier, and it produces DC (Direct current).Basically the alternator "alternates" or switches the voltage, and the rectifier switches the opposite way, in perfect time, turnign the AC into DC.
Rectifiers used for most larger alternator systems are which ones?
a full-wave bridge rectifier
How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?
Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.
Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
How do you make project of bridge rectifier on breadboard?
how to make a bridge rectifier on breadboard
What are merits and demerits of bridge rectifier?
Merits a diode bridge rectifier is simple to build
Where is the voltage regulator located on 88 Mazda 323 1.6 injection non turbo?
To the best of my knowledge, both the bridge rectifier and the voltage regulator are integrated into the alternator... I recently bought a refurbished alternator and the spec sheet referred to things like ripple current verification (bridge rectifier) and like regulator voltage verification which imply that both of these blocks are part of the regulator...
Is there any application where center tap rectifier is preferred over bridge rectifier?
For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
When a car is running is the current ac or DC?
AC (alternating current) is produced in the the alternator. It is converted to DC (direct current) in the alternator by a configuration of diodes called a bridge rectifier. The remainder of the electrical system is DC.
Which type of rectifier has the greatest output voltage for the same input voltage and trasformer turns ratio?
Bridge Rectifier

Could a defective new battery or wrong installation ruin an alternator?
If you connect the battery backwards you will forward bias the alternator's bridge rectifier and blow the diodes, ruining the alternator. You may also destroy the regulator, and don't forget what that might do to the rest of the car's electronics.
