Diode: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

DIODE ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Never use a high tension insulation tester, such as a meggar as it will damage diodes with its high tension.

The diode consists of eight diodes, four each being located on the positive and negative sides. The diode is necessary to restrict current flow to one direction.




Check all diodes, for continuity. If any diode is faulty, replace diode assembly.




1. Diodes on "+" side
Continuity of proper diodes on "+" side




2. Diodes on "-" side
Continuity of proper diodes on "-" side.
