TROUBLESHOOTINGTESTING AND ADJUSTINGPOSSIBLE CAUSESVERIFICATION PROCEDURE(Continued)If all checks show continuity, remove the leads from the cathodeof CR9 and from the anode of CR10. Check continuity fromspade terminal (11) to spade terminal (19). Also check continuitybetween spade terminal (6) and spade terminal (8). If continuity isshown in either test, the module (A2) has an inside short circuit.Make a replacement of the module as necessary.16 Regulator Module (A1) Has aTest procedures for this component are in the section onDefectREGULATOR MODULE.17. Shorted Suppression DiodeSurge suppression diode (CR7) is installed on positive heat sink(CR7 or CR8)(E1) and has a positive stud-type terminal. Surge suppressiondiode (CR8) is installed on negative heat sink (E2) and has anegative stud-type terminal. Disconnect (CR7 and CR8) byremoving the wire to the spade terminal of each diode. Check theforward and reverse resistance of each diode. Typical resistance inboth directions will be 15,000 ohms or more.NOTE: A suppression diode failure can normally be found visuallyor by the odor of selinium that has become too hot.18. Shorted Surge SuppressionDisconnect surge suppression diode (CR11) by removing wire (6)Diode (CR11)and both wires (19) connected to its spade terminals. Check theresistance of (CR11) with an ohmmeter connected to the spadeterminals. Resistance must be 15,000 ohms or more.NOTE: A failure of the suppression diode can normally be foundvisually or by the odor of selinium that has become too hot.19. Open Suppression Reactor (L1)Disconnect suppression reactor (L1) by removing wire (26) fromterminal (26). Check continuity from wire (26), through suppressionreactor (L1) to wire (12) at suppression capacitor (C2).Resistance is zero.20. Open SCR Reactor (L2)Disconnect SCR reactor (L2) by removing wire (19) from spadeterminal (19) of rectifier module (A2). Check continuity fromwire (19), through SCR reactor (L2) to wire (12) at suppressioncapacitor (C2).NOTE: Suppression reactor (L2) is several turns of wire with anair core. Resistance is zero.21. Shorted Suppression CapacitorDisconnect suppression capacitor (C2) by removing wire (6) from(C2)the spade terminal on the capacitor. Ohmmeter scale must be onRX1000. Check continuity of (C2) from the spade terminal fromwhich wire (6) was removed to the spade terminal that wires (12)are connected. When the ohmmeter test cables are first connectedto the capacitor, a low resistance will be seen. As a charge fromthe ohmmeter is put on the capacitor, there will be an increase inresistance until a constant indication is seen.22. Shorted RFI Capacitor (C1)Disconnect the RFI suppression capacitor (C1) by removing bothwires (6) from the spade terminal on the capacitor. Ohmmeterscale set to RX1000. Check continuity of the suppressioncapacitor (C1) from the spade terminal from which wires (6) were(Continued on next page)66
