![]() ![]() I am led to understand that Kohler used to sell a kit with the bridge rectifier and the proper resistor to replace the selenium, but it seems No Longer Available. If I do, do I just mail order a 24 amp, 400 volt bridge rectifier in a screw-down aluminum case? Do I screw it to a piece of aluminum with a "motherboard" type heat transfer tape? Do I check the input and output voltage to see how much voltage drop there is through the selenium rectifier? Do I need to put a resistor in line to duplicate the voltage drop through the selenium? Do I need to load the generator to test the output voltage, then use a resistor to match the original voltage? Will the silicon bridge regulate the voltage similar to the selenium? ![]() Do I really need to replace it? If it fails, is it going to damage other things in my generator? Some say yes, some say no. My rectifier seems to be working just fine. Not to resurrect this deceased equine simply to flog it again, but I would like to go one more time around the track. And "They sell brand new selenium rectifiers every day. I've seen everything from "Nothing wrong with selenium rectifiers, they run forever", to "Replace that evil rectifier before it fries your transformer and kills a whole village". I've read nearly everything I can find on the internet I about replacing the selenium rectifier in my generator. ![]()
