In terms of efficiency, does it matter if I use Three units of 1-phase rectifier to rectify my phases and then add them together? The reason is to monitor the events during an experiment.
You can rectifry 3 phase with just 2 full wave bridges, connect 2 phases to one bridges ac connections, and just connect the third phase to either of the ac connections on the second bridge, and then connect the + and -'s togther on both.

You would get slightly better efficiency at no cost, but some asymmetry, by connecting the unused ac connection on the second bridge to any one of the input phases.
