A stator makes AC power, the rectifier turns it into DC. Usually a stator works or it is shorted and does nothing. If you are troubleshooting and its on the engine and you can run it, that is a quick check that you have AC coming from the stator. Sometimes when rectifiers fail you will see AC in the DC, then you know the stator is working but the rectifier is shorting AC to the battery. Normally you would see very little AC at the battery.
