Easy access from the anode-to-cathode is available by going from heatsink-to-
heatsink as shown in the diagram below:

Figure 37 - Anode-to-cathode test

A good SCR and circuit should read between 22 and 24 kΩ.

An SCR that has failed from anode-to-cathode will commonly produce a
resistance value of 0 for a shorted device or

Ω for an opened device. Unlike the

SGCT, it is highly irregular for an SCR to have a partially shorted device. If an
SCR is found to be out of tolerance, refer to the PowerFlex 7000 ‘B’ Frame User
Manual’s “Component Definition and Maintenance” section for detailed
instructions on how to replace the SCR assembly.
