Testing Diodes

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment

under test, disconnect the circuit power and discharge all

high-voltage capacitors before testing diodes.

Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, silicon controlled

rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor devices. The test sends

a current through a semiconductor junction, then measures the

junction’s voltage drop. A typical junction drops 0.5V to 0.8V.

To test a diode out of a circuit, set up the meter as shown in Figure

11. In a circuit, a similar diode should still indicate a forward-bias

reading of 0.5V to 0.8V; however, the reverse-bias reading can vary

depending on the resistance of other pathways between the probe

tips.
