Rectifier not working properly?

So i attached a 3 phase rectifier to a wind turbine i just installed and i have it attached properly atleast according to the diagram and i get a weird output when the turbine goes slow it puts out ac and vibrates then as it speeds up the ac voltage drops and dc voltage increases but its still being held back i have no idea why its doing this anyone have any ideas? i checked the connections and 1 of the phases looked a bit loose so i reconnected it better but it still does the same thing idk what to do

    If the turbine rotates slowly, the output ripple voltage will be large because the cap discharges a lot between the recharge pulses.

    Did you use a 3 phase power generator and where you got it ?

    How many rectifiers you used and how you connected them to the 3 phase generator ?

    Show the diagram !
