Pins 3 and 5, should read 50.4 Volts If the diode is working properly? When I perform this test, I seem to not get a reading at all? Then i check the continuity of the fuse and it has failed me now 3 times. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

The voltage amplitude should be 0 Volts. When I increase the voltage of the power supply to 0.5 Volts (across pins 1 and 5) above the battery pack voltage, I would check the voltage across pins 3 and 5. The voltage amplitude should be 0 Volts. The amplitude should be less than negative 0.2 Volts.

**TYPO** Its pin 1 and 5.

I am attaching the positive to pin 1 and the negative to pin 5. I have the P/N of the fuse and the diode hand written at the top of the schematic.

Im sorry, i meant i would hook up the DVM to pins 3 and 5 to get the voltage reading. It should be 0 if the diode is working properly.

The test is to check the diode will not leak any voltage or current. The Diode is a blocker of current and voltage in one direction. Looking at the schematic, I would attach the power supply (50.4 Volts + 0.5 Volts) to pins 1 and 5 then check the voltage across pins 3 and 5. I should not get any...

Good Afternoon, I am building this battery pack with 64 aa cells (QU1500 AA) It is split in a series parallel configuration. Each series string has a Diode and a fuse. When I perform the diode test (add the OVC 50.4V plus 0.5V to the circuit) the fuse keeps blowing? I have looked at this for a...
