Testing Diodes
Set up your clamp meter to test diodes as shown in
. Probe the test
points, and read the display.
Figure 2-13
Diode display
CAUTION
To avoid possible damage to your clamp meter or to the equipment under
test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors
before testing diodes.
NOTE
– Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, silicon controlled rectifiers
(SCRs), and other semiconductor devices. A good diode allows current to
flow in one direction only.
– This test sends a current through a semiconductor junction, and then
measures the junction’s voltage drop.
– Connect the red test lead to the positive terminal (anode) of the diode and
the black test lead to the negative terminal (cathode). The cathode of a diode
is indicated with a band.
NOTE
Your clamp meter can display the forward-bias of a diode up to approximately
1.8 V. The forward-bias of a typical diode is within the range of 0.3 V to 0.8 V;
however, the reading can vary depending on the resistance of other pathways
between the probe tips.
