Three Phase Generator Wiring for Wind Turbine Battery Charging

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on wiring a three-phase generator for battery charging in a wind turbine setup. The user is familiar with the WYE connection but seeks clarity on load connections and the integration of rectifiers. The consensus indicates that connecting a rectifier to each load before linking to batteries in series is the recommended approach for effective charging.

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

Hi Teachme. Didn't you ask this question somewhere before in the last couple of days? I saw it answered somewhere.
