11-12. TESTING RECTIFIERS (NEGATIVE). To test the negative case rectifiers in the end shield, connect
the alligator clip of tool C-3829 to the end shield.
Touch the test prod to the bare wire of the rectifier leads at the rectifiers in the end shield. The meter will
indicate the condition of the rectifier.
The test indications are the same for the negative case rectifiers in the end shield as they are for the
positive case rectifiers in the heat sink. However, the meter will read at the opposite end of the scale.
NOTE
If all three of the negative rectifiers read low, before condemning the
rectifiers, test for a grounded stator. A grounded stator will cause the
negative rectifiers (in the end shield) to read low.
