Rectifier Diode / Bridge: Testing and Inspection
RECTIFIER CHECK
1. Check the continuity between the positive rectifier and the stator coil lead connection terminal with a tester. If there is continuity between the
terminals, the diode is shorted, so replace the rectifier.
2. Check the continuity between the negative rectifier and the stator coil lead connection terminal with a tester. If there is continuity between the
terminals, the diode is grounded, so replace the rectifier.
3. Check the continuity of the three diodes by connecting an ohmmeter to both ends of each diode. If there is continuity between the directions, or if
there is no continuity, the diode is damaged, so replace the rectifier.
