Isolate the high voltage rectifier assembly from the HV circuit. The asymmetric can be tested using an
ohmmeter set to its highest range across the terminals A+B of the asymmetric rectifier and note the
reading obtained. Reverse the meter leads and note this second reading. If an open circuit is indicated
in both direction then the asymmetric rectifier is good. If an asymmetric rectifier is shorted in either
direction, then the asymmetric rectifier is probably faulty and must be replaced with high voltage rectifier.
When the asymmetric rectifier is defective, check whether magnetron, high voltage rectifier, high voltage
wire or filament winding of the power transformer is shorted.

NOTE: FOR MEASUREMENT OF THE RESISTANCE OF THE RECTIFIER, THE BATTERIES OF
THE MEASURING INSTRUMENT MUST HAVE A VOLTAGE OF AT LEAST 6 VOLTS,
BECAUSE OTHERWISE AN INFINITE RESISTANCE MIGHT BE SHOWN IN BOTH
DIRECTIONS.

HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS
A. Isolate the high voltage capacitor from the circuit.
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest resistance
B. Continuity check must be carried out with measuring instrument which is set to the highest resistance
range.
C. A normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time (kick) and then a resistance of about 10MΩ after
it has been charged.
D. A short-circuited capacitor shows continuity all the time.
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 MΩ because of its internal 10MΩ
E. An open capacitor constantly shows a resistance about 10 MΩ because of its internal 10MΩ
resistance.
F. When the internal wire is opened in the high voltage capacitor shows an infinite resistance.
G. The resistance across all the terminals and the chassis must be infinite when the capacitor is normal.
If incorrect reading are obtained, the high voltage capacitor must be replaced.
