[QUOTE="TechWise, post: 7365613, member: 11384"] It's really difficult to say which is more likely. On one hand, coil fails, huge current flows into broken coil through the rectifier and destroys the rectifier. No way of knowing how much of an overcurrent pulse the rectifier can withstand. On the other hand, rectifier fails, AC voltage makes it through to the coil then maybe damages the coil? I would have expected the coil to survive an AC voltage just long enough for the protection to trip first but that's just my opinion based on what little we know. I'm afraid it really is virtually impossible to work back from charred remains. It would be virtually impossible to prove it either way on the balance of probabilities so I doubt you'll get anywhere arguing the point. [/QUOTE]
