I did a fair share of searching past posts on rectifiers. Learned quite a bit. Most of the posts are older though, so I thought maybe some new insight has come up. I have a 12ft machine that I built. I have the tower and concrete for it done, and will start raising things in the near future. I need to come up with a rectifier yet though. Dans' book spells it out pretty plain how to build one, but I am still a little intimidated, and time is also precious. Is anyone here building them to sell or could you point me in a direction of at least a pre crafted rectifier. Someone in past posts said check out henhugger on ebay. His user name comes up, but he don't have anything listed for sale. I am hoping to find something complete maybe with a box and shorting switch built in. I did price out the ones Midnite solar made with the rectifier and 3phase breakers for shorting. They made them for the Bergy XL. Bergy still has them in stock. Seems a little much for what it is, but maybe not. 545.00 is what they told me. I am not sure the rectifier in that box would be big enough though.
Also wondering if anyone has suggestions or a link to what to use for a weather proof e-stop switch at the base of the tower, and an approach to installing the kellum grip for the chord going down through the yaw bearing cap.
Thanks!
