Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

The full-wave rectifiers, like the one I have coming (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07XCWCXL1?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image) is for what type of connected source wiring? Delta or Star? Does it matter? It doesn't say in the description what type of required 3-Ph wiring.
There are 3-Ph half-wave rectifiers that have a 4th input connector for neutral.
This tutorial (https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/power/three-phase-rectification.html) mentions these two types of 3PH rectifiers and the use of them for Delta and Star, respectively.
So I assume I will need to rewire the rotor as a Delta config, as this full-wave rectifier only has the three input connections XYZ?
But then there's this tutorial https://youtu.be/JB4Qer7e64Y
But, in fact, I don't even see many examples of Delta connected 3PH full-wave rectifiers on the net.
The odd one, so I will assume it doesn't matter, either way, they both work just fine.
