MSG Equipment’s MS021 tester detects breakdowns, open circuits and degradation in alternator rectifiers, helping technicians choose the right replacement.
Once an alternator fault is found, each element of the unit has to be checked to locate the defective part. MSG Equipment’s MS021 tester is designed for examining alternator bridge rectifiers in this process.
- diode breakdown or open circuit
- poor contact between diode and busbars
- diode type and degradation level
- reverse breakdown voltage
The measured values make it easier to select a suitable replacement for the faulty diode. In February 2021 the manufacturer also announced a new price for the MS021.
