8.4 Test tables for passive barriers
Tables 4 to 10 detail the tests for all MTL7700 Series ‘passive’ barriers. In the ‘diode test’ columns, the figures adjacent to the diode description
indicate the number of forward-biased diodes used in the barrier chain. Using the multimeter diode test function and knowing the diode voltage
drop figures (approximately 0.6V for each Zener diode and 0.3V for each Schottky diode), the expected reading across the diode chain can
be determined.
