Rotating rectifier assembly

In an electrical machine having a rotary shaft, a rotating rectifier assembly comprising two support wheels mounted on the shaft in insulated relationship thereto and formed with respective ring flanges, said two support wheels forming direct current poles, the shaft being formed with an axial bore, at least two direct current conductors disposed in said axial bore, and three current connecting bolts extending radially from each of said two support wheels at uniformly spaced divisions about the periphery thereof, two of said current connecting bolts extending directly to one of said direct current conductors of given polarity and the remaining one of said current connecting bolts extending insulatedly through the other of said direct current conductors having a polarity opposite to said given polarity, said three current connecting bolts all terminating in the respective direct current conductor in a common plane transverse to the respective direct current conductor.
