Hi all, Not quite related to amps exactly but I need a HV solution someone here might be able to help me with. I need to check diode integrity of some microwave oven diodes. I'm trying to build an tw
You can't use an Ohmmeter to test high voltage rectifiers. You can use a Megger or Hipot tester, which provides substantial high voltage applied to the rectifier to monitor the breakdown voltage (app
Hi Gary: An easy test of the diodes is to use a 9 volt battery and use one of the diodes in series with the battery lead. Measure the resulting voltage on the voltage range. The voltage drop from 9 v
trying to build an get the HV via a <snip> Hi Gary, If you are going to run a (pair of) half wave rectifier(s) from that transformer and you using any sort of capacitor on the output, you will need d
If you just want to read the voltage, find a 100 Meg Ohm of if possible , a 90 Meg Ohm resistor to series with your 10 meg ohm meter. If it is not 10 meg on the input then you need to adjust the seri
