The old delco diode trio takes the 3 phase rectified voltage from the rectifier bridge and and joins it back into one single phase; readys it for the voltage regulator.
If the car is running do an AC voltage drop test from the positive on the alternator to the positive battery terminal. there should be less than 0.1v ac. if there is greater than 0.1v that would indicate a failed diode. Another way is to remove the alternator from the vehicle and disassemble it, exposing the diode trio. Using a multimeter on the diode setting, test for continuity on each side of each diode. Continuity should be detected only one way on each diode. If this is not the case on any of the 3 diodes, then the diodes have failed and are in need of replacement.

"Trio" in English is trio in Italian.
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
The noun 'trio' can function as a collective noun for any group of three joined together on a common task:a trio of singersa trio of dancersa trio of waitersa trio of EMTsa trio of horsesa trio of elephants
The read type diode are called impatt diode
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
Laser diode
zener resistance of a zener diode is the resistance of the zener diode but which is the resistance of a diode
A diode is a one-way valve for electricity. Since an alternator produces alternating current, the diodes allow electrons to flow in only one direction. That's how it converts AC current into direct (DC) current. There are usually three diodes in an alternator. It's called a diode bridge and is also known as a "rectifier". Revised answer. Yes it's called a diode trio. But there are actually a total of six diodes in a complete rectifier bridge. There are usually 3 stator windings. Each winding has two diodes. One diode allow positive to the battery and the other diode prevents positive from flowing to ground.
A trio means three (of people, of things, of events). Examples:A trio of singers performed.I saw a trio of stars above the pines.A trio of baby rabbits sat in my yard.Though I already won twice, I wanted a trio of wins.Three makes a trio of anything.A trio of blue birds ate from the feeder.
