What are the differences among a half-wave, full wave and three phase stator coils and rectifiers?

What will be an ideal response?


The half-wave stator coil has one ungrounded lead. It only requires a single diode for rectification. A full wave stator is similar to a half-wave stator but the full wave charging system uses the full potential of the charging coil by employing both leads of the stator. The full wave stator needs four diodes for rectification. The three phase stator has three charging coils instead of just one. The rectifier for the three phase system has a total of six diodes.
