This is just a simulation so not a big deal, but you really should move your ground to the DC side, if you check the DC ground by the filtering cap it is running from 0V to -124V. AC is a switching voltage from negative to positive vice versa so there really isn't a ground other than protection earth ground

The power company doesn't like us breaking in and putting diodes between the generator and ground. This is highly illegal.

This would also cause all the properly grounded equipment within the power provider to short out.

So if this not a simulator and its the real world, its best to use a grounded ac source, as this is what you get in real life.

However, usage of a transformer will create a 'separately derived source'. This separate source can be grounded however you like, after a diode bridge on the negative is preferred.
