HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER ASSEMBLY TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The high voltage
rectifier can be tested using an ohmmeter set to its highest range. Connect the
ohmmeter across the terminal B+C of the high voltage rectifier and note the
reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this second reading.
The normal resistance is infinite in one direction and more than 100
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 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 direction 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. When the asymmetric rectifier is
defective, check whether magnetron, high voltage rectifier, high voltage wire or
filament winding of the power transformer is shorted.

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
C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a
D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10
F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor, the
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.
