RECTIFIER BRIDGE CHECK:
As shown on plate 12340, the rectifier bridge
has a grounded heat sink and an insulated heat
sink connected to the output terminal. (On 10-51
generators,  there is an insulating washer loca-
ted between the insulated heat sink and end

b. Connect an ohmmeter having a 1-1/2 volt cell,
and using the lowest range scale, to the single
connector and to one of the three connectors (as
shown in plate 12333).
c. Observe the reading.  Then reverse the ohm-
meter leads to the same two connectors.  if both
readings are the same, replace the diode trio.
A good diode trio will give one high and one low
reading.
d. Repeat this same test between the single
connector and each of the other two connectors.
Also, connect the ohmmeter to each pair of the
three connectors (not illustrated).  if any rear
ding is zero, replace the diode trio.
NOTE
Plates 12338 and 12339 illustrate two
diode trios differing in appearance.
Either one of these diode trios may be
