In-Circuit Testing of Diodes and Rectifiers

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Circuit lets you measure zener voltages and test LEDs

To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN. In ...

Impact Study of Commutation and Diode Open Circuits on the Excitation Capacity of WRSGs Based on a System-level Semiphysical Crosslinking Test

Abstract: Wound-rotor synchronous generators (WRSGs) are the main structures used in aircraft power systems. As a key component of WRSGs for realizing brushless commutation, rotary rectifiers (RRs) ...
