Abstract
A circuit for detecting a failed diode in a multiple diode rectifier bridge detects open or shorted diodes in both multi-phase, half-wave rectification and single or multi-phase full wave rectification arrangements and provides a failure signal for sounding an alarm or tripping the circuit to protect the load or power source as the case may be.
