🔍 Key Concepts

• Diodes in a rectifier only allow current to flow in one direction • Excitation field rectifier assemblies convert AC to DC for the generator field • Correct replacement parts must match critical electrical characteristics, including orientation/polarity

💭 Think About

• Think about what a rectifier made of diodes actually does to the current going to the generator’s field windings. • Ask yourself which choice deals directly with how the diode functions in the circuit, rather than mechanical balance, physical coating, or magnetic alignment. • Consider what would happen to the excitation system if one diode in the rectifier were installed in the opposite direction from the others.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers specifically to electrical direction of current flow through the diode. • Eliminate any choices that mainly talk about mechanical issues (rotor balancing, shrink fits) rather than the diode’s electrical role. • Check which statement, if ignored, could cause the rectifier to stop converting AC to DC properly because a diode is oriented the wrong way.
