COMPONENT TEST
The normal resistance is infinity in one direction and more than 100 k
Ω
in the other direction.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
ASYMMETRIC RECTIFIER TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The asymmetric rectifier can be tested
using an ohmmeter set to its highest range. Contact the ohmmeter across the terminals A+B of the
asymmetric rectifier and note the reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this second
reading. If an open circuit is indicated in both directions then the asymmetric rectifier is good. If an
asymmetric rectifier is shorted in either direction, then the asymmetric rectifier is probably faulty and
must be replaced with high voltage rectifier. When the asymmetric rectifier is defective, check
whether magnetron, high voltage rectifier, high voltage wire or filament winding of the high voltage
transformer is shorted.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
NOTE: FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE RECTIFIER, THE BATTERIES OF
THE MEASURING INSTRUMENT MUST HAVE A VOLTAGE AT LEAST 6 VOLTS,
BECAUSE OTHERWISE AN INFINITE RESISTANCE MIGHT BE SHOWN IN BOTH
DIRECTIONS.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECK.
SIsolate the switch to be tested and using an ohmmeter check between the terminals as described
in the following table.

If incorrect readings are obtained, make the necessary switch adjustment or replace the switch.
CARRY OUT 4R CHECKS.
D
HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
A. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest
resistance range.
C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10M
Ω
after it has been charged.
D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 M
Ω
because of its internal 10M
Ω
resistance.
F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is
normal.
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.
