Diode Modules for Rotating Rectifiers
Make sure the Voltage Control is at the zero position (fully counter
clockwise) before turning the unit on. Connect the Anode and Cathode
leads to the diode to be tested.
NOTE
: Diodes only have to be tested in one direction. If the diode is
forward biased (standard), the function switch should be in the PRV
position. If the diode is reversed biased, the function switch should be in
the PFV position.
Place the function switch in the PRV (PFV) position and press the
“
TEST
”
button.
Slowly increase the voltage while observing the Peak Voltage and Peak
Leakage Current on the panel meters.
In a properly functioning device, the rated voltage should be reached before
the current starts to rise
rapidly

Both diodes in this modules are rated at 2600 V.
