Bench Testing: Rectifier

Using ohmmeter, check for continuity between each diode. See DIODE CONTINUITY  table. See Fig 1 . If continuity is not as specified, replace rectifier.

DIODE CONTINUITY

Negative Terminal Positive Terminal Continuity
"E" PN, P1, P2 & P3 No
"B" PN, P1, P2 & P3 Yes
"T" PN, P1, P2 & P3 Yes
PN, P1, P2 & P3 "E" Yes
PN, P1, P2 & P3 "B" No
PN, P2 & P3 "T" No
PN "T" Yes
