Rectifier Problems with D5 and D7

Postby ferchman » Tue Feb 01, 2005 8:52 pm

I'm testing my Recifiers (D2-D7). All test well, around .524 amps. When I reverse the contacts, they test 0. However, on D5 and D7 I get a very different response. I test at .095 even when I reverse the contacts. I have four A12 kits going, and they all test the same way. What's up with D5 and D7?

When diodes are installed in circuit keep in mind that "going through the diode" may not be the only way to get from + to -.

If iy visually inspected them, and are sure they are installed correctly I would assume this is normal. Mine are racked now so I can't check.

They look good, like the others. I'm assuming, because I'm getting the same values from all four kits, that everything is fine. Thanks.
