11.3.5 Open Negative Rectifier Diode
This pattern identifies an open negative rectifier diode. In the case of multiple diodes in parallel, all of the
diodes on the circuit must be open. An example is:
There are two diodes in the rectifier for each phase of the stator. Both diodes must be open for this pattern to
appear.
With this type of defect, the rectifier assembly must be replaced.
