Abstract:
1. A rectifier system for a generator, comprising: a plurality of rectifier elements configured in a bridge system, wherein at least one of the plurality of rectifier elements is a rectifier element having at least one voltage-independent reverse saturation current characteristic curve in a predefined range, wherein there is at least one positive rectifier element and at least one negative rectifier element for which the reverse current is higher for the at least one negative rectifier element than the at least one positive rectifier element; wherein the plurality of rectifier elements having a voltage-independent reverse saturation, include at least one TMBS diode or TJBS diode, and wherein the negative diodes are applied to higher temperature areas of the rectifier, so that as the reverse saturation current increases with increasing operating or environmental temperature, the reverse saturation current of the negative diodes is further increased and a phase voltage is kept at low values.
