Does Alternator Self-Excitation Require Rectification?

Yes.

Automobile alternators, for example, have a single axial field winding, with claw-pole halves at either end providing the alternate North and South poles.

The alternator output is rectified and fed to the field winding through an 'on-off' regulator that switches the excitation current between 2 set points (e.g. 13.8 & 14.2 V for a 12V system).

Initial excitation is provided by the battery through the 'charging' indicator bulb.
