Hi.
I was wondering if I could connect a bridge rectifier directly to my outlet and then test it with the multimeter to see if I get DC out of it. Theoretically, there is no load, right? So there should be no short. But I want to play this safe.
I should mention the bridge rectifier is not new, which is why I'm trying to test it. Does age affect safety?
Other details:
Bridge rectifier : B500R
Outlet: 220 V, 50 Hz
Also, since I'm talking about a multimeter, I was also wondering if I could test the outlet with it in DC mode.
Thanks.
