Abstract:
1. A rectifier assembly, comprising: an annular bus bar comprising an electrically conductive material, annular bus bar defining flow channels extending axially on an inner diameter thereof; an insulator ring receiving the annular bus bar, the insulator ring defining radially-extending resistor pockets and diode pockets therein; resistors disposed in the resistor pockets and electrically connected with the annular bus bar; diodes disposed in the diode pockets and electrically connected with the annular bus bar; and an outer housing receiving the annular bus bar and the insulator ring, such that the insulator ring is positioned radially between the annular bus bar and the outer housing; spring clips disposed between and electrically connecting at least some of the resistors, at least some of the diodes, or both with the annular bus bar, each of the spring clips defining a flow diverter, the flow diverter of each of the spring clips extending at least partially over one of the flow channels.
