Bench Testing: Rectifier

  1. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity between ground and "B" terminal. Connect one lead of ohmmeter to "B" terminal and the other to ground. Swap leads and recheck for continuity. See Fig 1.
  2. In one direction, resistance should be approximately 10 ohms. In the other direction, reading should be infinite, indicating no continuity. If readings are not as specified, replace rectifier.
