Make sure the capacitor is installed if you do that. Without the
capacitor, the system may start surging, destroying all running
avionics in the process.

The capacitor acts as a very tiny battery, just large enough to buffer
some of the charge, damping out oscillations in the voltage feed back
system of the "rectifier".
