I am refurbishing my old alternator which most likely failed due to worn out brushes; however, just to make sure, i am testing all the inner components: the rotor, stator and rectifier. Testing the stator and rotor was pretty straight forward but i found testing the md133171 rectifier challenging.
I watched a bunch of vids on how to test alternator components and i found the vid below to be the most comprehensive and concise:
as can be seen in the vid above, the rectifier which the dude is testing is not constructed in the same way as the md133171 rectifier:
while i eventually did get all the correct values i was supposed to after a few trials and errors, i'd like to be certain that i tested this rectifier correctly and wanted to ask if anybody here would have a link to resources, such as vids or step-by-step procedure, showing how to test this particular (md133171) rectifier... as well as the ones which are coded as follows:
MD133171
MD136839
MD136838
MD133513
MD169683
MD169683D
MD158495
