| sorry i havent been on the board lately. ive been in the process of attempting to build a house for myself. its been tedious work to say the least. :-P
anyway,... just would like to share some pics of a 3 phase rectifier i just built up last week. this will be used for the big 24v machine at the new house, when the tower finally goes up. :-P its built like a tank and should handle a good amount of current. if in the end i feel the need to allow it to cool better, ill just add more aluminum. i have a ton laying around.
here is a view of the anode side.
and the cathode side. i used a 3 foot long piece of recycled plastic board type material available at home depot for like $6 think. the rest of the materials i have been lucky enough to collect over the last 6 months.
here is a shot of one of the diodes sitting next to a quarter for a size comparison. they are big. this 3 phase rectifier uses 6 diodes like this. They have 2AWG jumpers on the anode side. I think they are 200A diodes. but dont quote me on it, i never had the time to cross reference them.
here is the input terminals for the power coming from the turbine. I used 4awg cable to wire this up. i figured at 24v it should be enough. i can always change it to a heavier gauge if its not sufficient. i think it wil be fine however... time will tell.
here is a top view. you can see my feet in the picture.
sorry if any of this is vague. I didnt have alot of time to write this up. thought you would enjoy the pics. :-)
have fun!!
