Rectifier. Regulator. Alternator. These can be confusing components on a motorcycle (bike) and scooty (scooter). Especially the rectifier. So, what does a rectifier do on a motorcycle? The rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) from the alternator to the direct current (DC). This converted direct current (DC) is then fed to the battery to charge up.

Along with the rectifier, a regulator also exists in the motorcycle to help the battery charging. The regulator moderates the voltage coming from the alternator. This helps in battery voltage regulation.

A rectifier is a device that converts an alternating current (AC) into a direct current (DC).

A rectifier comes in various different forms. In the motorcycles, they are diodes. To be precise, a combination of pn junction diodes.

Rectification, the process, refers to the straightening of alternating current into unidirectional direct current.

Purely rectifier as a component comes in various shapes, sizes, and forms.

There are halfwave rectifiers and there are fullwave rectifiers. There are singlephase rectifiers and there are threephase rectifiers. There are threephase bridge uncontrolled rectifiers and there are threephase bridge controlled rectifiers.

In a motorcycle, the alternator generates electric current but in the form of AC (alternating current).

The battery which stores the electric charge and powers the electronic accessories can only receive DC (direct current).

Since the alternator generates AC and the battery can only receive DC, you need a device to address this problem.

And that’s where a rectifier fits in.

The rectifier converts the AC coming from the alternator in the motorcycle to DC and feeds it to the battery.

In motorcycles, the rectifier is accompanied by a regulator.

These two components have a defined role to play in the motorcycle charging system.

The rectifier converts the alternating current (AC) from the alternator to the direct current (DC).
The regulator moderates the voltage coming from the alternator.
Both are of equal importance. Even if one of the components either the regulator or the rectifier is not working, there will be problems in battery charging.

Since both these components and circuits are clubbed together, they are often referred in a singular fashion as – regulatorrectifier.
