You can check if it is shorted, but without coordinating the gate and anode voltages with the cathode, you cannot test a thyrister (SCR) with a multimeter. Check it out of circuit for shorts, then check the circuit, then test it in operation. Anything more advanced will require an oscilloscope.

How do you test a good and working contactor?
A contactor is tested by using a device called a Multimeter. By setting the multimeter to ohms and rx1 you can clip both prongs to the coil. If the multinmeter moves the contactor is good. If it doesnt move its bad.
What are the black and red things hanging off a multimeter?
They are called test leads, you would use them to connect the multimeter to the points that are to be tested.
How do you correctly test if a circuit is not live?
Use a multimeter and test if there is a voltage drop or current over the wire circuit.
Where could one purchase some Multimeter Test Leads?
Multimeter test leads can be purchased at specialty stores like Radio Shack or some larger hardware stores. They can also be found online at Amazon and eBay.
How do you test a Switched mode power supply using analog multimeter?
A: A VOM can measure the voltage across the load. To test the current if the current surpasses the VOM range just add a very small resistor in series with the load and use ohms law to find the current since you have the voltage drop.
How can you test a battery?
You can test a battery by using multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltmeter setting and then place the leads of the multimeter across the leads of the battery. the multimeter will have a readout of the voltage.
How do you test electronic circuit board components?
By using a multimeter
Is it possible to test a diode with multimeter?
Yes it is possible to test a diode with a multimeter.
How i you Will test an thyristor?
AK/SSR 600 Code 1651684091
How do you test an abs sensor?
To test an abs sensor for a Lexus ES you will need to use a multimeter. The multimeter will determine if the abs sensor works or not.
Dos and don'ts to ensure the safety of multimeter?
Do: Each time you do an ohms test using an analog multimeter, touch the two probes together and use the calibration dial to "zero it out." For a digital multimeter, touch the probes together and it automatically calibrates itself. Donot: Don't switch multimeter functions while the meter is energized.
Why does your 120 outlet measure 49 volts when you test it with a multimeter?
Either the supply or the multimeter is faulty.
How do you test a good and working contactor?

What is the purpose of an automotive multimeter?
An automotive multimeter, like any multimeter, can be used to test the voltage or current in some kind of circuit. As it is an automotive multimeter it is aimed more towards the used in a car.
How do you do different test on automotive cars using a multimeter?
Ohms=resistance in the wiring. Volts=your power. Amps=how much power u got;)
How do you test a battery in a Motorola cell phone?
Take the battery out and test it with a multimeter.
How do you test a ballast resistor?
