This is NOT the typical DC (+) output voltage waveform. One output diode is not functioning. Note the “gap” in the waveform. One output diode was disconnected to simulate an open or non-functioning output diode. Each vertical division represents 50 volts and each horizontal division repre- sents 5 milliseconds in time.

Note: Scope probes connected at machine output terminals.
