Slip ring end housing for a dual rectifier alternator

A slip ring end (SRE) housing for a dual rectifier alternator, the SRE housing comprising:

• a base with an outer surface and an inner surface;
• a plurality of standoffs coupled to said base;
• a first rectifier attached to the outer surface of the base;
• a second rectifier attached to the inner surface of the base;
• and
• a connector which passes through the base and electrically interconnects the first rectifier to the second rectifier in parallel to provide rectifier redundancy in an event of a rectifier failure of either one the first and second rectifiers;
• wherein said first rectifier is a diode bridge, said second rectifier is a diode bridge;
• said first rectifier and said second rectifier are electrically connected in parallel so as to form a redundant parallel diode bridge;
• whereby upon failure of either of said first rectifier and said second rectifier, operation will be maintained by the respective other of said second rectifier and said first rectifier.
