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.

Wiring connections for solid state rectifier bsa d7 bantam?
For the solid state rectifier on a BSA D7 Bantam, you typically connect the yellow wire from the alternator to the input of the rectifier, the red wire to the +12V output, and the black wire to the ground or chassis. It's crucial to consult the wiring diagram specific to your motorcycle model for accurate connections and polarity. Improper wiring can damage the rectifier or other electrical components.
What is the schematic of a selenium rectifier?
A selenium rectifier typically consists of a stack of alternating selenium disks with metal electrodes connecting them. The input AC voltage is applied across the stack, and the rectified output is taken from the ends of the stack. A resistor is often included in series with the rectifier to limit current flow.
Why does your bridge rectifier keep tripping your breakers?
One of the diodes in the bridge may be shorted out. Use an ohm meter and check the front to back resistance on each of the diodes. It should have a high ohm reading one way (blocking) and low the other way (conducting).
Is a battery charger a rectifier?
Inside a 12 volt battery charger, one of the main components is a transformer used to lower the supply voltage to 14 VAC. The other main component is the diode bridge. It is a full wave bridge network which uses four diodes for voltage rectification. The open circuit output of the battery charger is about 13.8 VDC. So, no a battery charger is not a rectifier but it used the process of rectification in its operation.
What happen when two of four diode in a bridge rectifier is short circuit?
You will get reduced amperage (or output) from the alternator. A alternator rated at 80 amps would probably only produce 50-60 amps. If a diode in a rectifier is shorted, then the alternator output would be greatly reduced or possibly no output at all.
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.
