How can I use a three phase WYE alternator to charge a battery with a DC output?

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on using a three-phase WYE alternator to charge batteries with a DC output. It confirms that a rectifier is necessary to convert the AC output from the alternator into DC for battery charging. The conversation also clarifies that connecting batteries in series may not be relevant to the basic setup, as the primary concern is ensuring proper rectification and load connections. A diagram provided in the linked resource illustrates the correct wiring approach.

PREREQUISITES

So I am trying to figure out how to wire a three phase generator. I understand the WYE connection, but I am stumped about the load connections and specifically what to do then. The generator will be connected to a wind turbine so I will be needing to charge batteries. So my main question is...

Do I connect a rectifier to each load and then to a battery which are in series? I have included a picture to make a question more clear on what I am talking about.

Thanks for reading

Your three phase WYE alternator can be used to produce one DC output (as in car alternator circuits) which can charge a battery. See this link for a diagram.
I am not sure what your idea of connecting batteries in series is all about. Perhaps it is not relevant if that link answers your basic question?
