Which measurement detects a failed diode in the rectifier?

  • A.The direct current output voltage, which falls to two thirds of its normal value if one diode has failed
  • B.A visual inspection
  • C.An oscilloscope trace of the output, which shows a missing peak where the failed diode should have conducted
  • D.Alternating current ripple measured at the battery

Answer: D

A meter on its alternating current range should read only a few tens of millivolts, and a failed diode raises it sharply. An oscilloscope shows the missing peak directly and is the better tool, which makes the last option a real and superior method. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. Tracing the requirement back to the physical constraint that produces it makes the answer follow.
