6. Connect SCR into the test circuit as shown

in(A)Lead to anode (C) lead to cathodeFigureandF.8.(G) lead to the gate.

7. Close switch SW-1 (Switch SW-2 should be open). The voltmeter should read zero. If the voltmeter reads higher than zero, the SCR is shorted.

8. With switch SW-1 closed, close switch SW-2 for two seconds and release. The voltmeter should read 3 to 6 volts before and after switch SW-2 is released. If the voltmeter does not read, or reads only while SW-2 is depressed, the SCR or battery is defective. (Repeat Battery Test Procedure described in Step 5.)

9.Open switch SW-1, disconnect the gate lead

(G)and reverse the (A) and (C) leads on the SCR. Close switch SW-1. The voltmeter should read zero. If the voltage is higher than zero, the SCR is shorted.

10.Replace any SCRs that do not pass the test. See SCR Bridge Assembly
