Hi Zeto

The terminolgy can get tricky. Whiist not all diodes are used primarily as rectifiers,  the 4 in one diode as the second posting, of which two are used in parallel, is intended primarily as a rectifier so the term is not unreasonable, even if it is not so functioning with a dc dynamo!
At 30 ohms the cutout absorbs a watt plus a tad in the heavy winding whereas a conventional diode absorbing .6v at 10 amps soaks 6 watts......
