four
One of the diodes in the bridge may be shorted out. Use an ohm meter and check the front to back resistance on each of the diodes. It should have a high ohm reading one way (blocking) and low the other way (conducting).
If your bridge rectifier doesn't have the symbols on the package to tell you how to hook it up, you will have to identify the bridge connections to hook it up properly. Let's look at a case with four discrete diodes and explain that. Then you should be able to take that to the full wave bridge and hook it up. Four similar diodes properly rated are going to be used in a bridge rectifier. The diodes have symbols on them, and the symbol is an arrow pointing to a flat line. The flat line is the n end of the p-n junction of that diode. Another way to say this is that the arrow points to the n-type material. The end behind the arrow is the p end of the p-n junction. On a diode, the "band" around the component is the end the arrow points to, or the n end of the diode - the n-type material end of the device. Connect the n ends of two diodes together. That means two diodes will have their arrows pointing at each other. That point of the bridge is the positive (+) side of the bridge. Now take a diode and connect it to one of the open leads of the two diodes connected together. Make sure the diode you are adding points toward the one to which your are connecting it. That means that the arrow will point to the back of the arrow of one of the two connected diodes. Do the same with the last diode and connect it to the other of the two originally connected diodes. Now connect together the open ends of the last two diodes you connected. That last connection will be the negative (-) end of the bridge rectifier. Connect the AC to the other "corners" of the bridge. It doesn't matter which wire goes where. It's AC, and the polarity of the applied voltage will be alternating. Use the provided link to the Wikipedia article on the diode bridge to see how it is connected and how it works. Note: Work safely at all times and never energize something you are uncertain about.A true bridge rectifier has 4 connections, two are for AC input and two are for DC output.It doesn't matter which way you connect the two AC inputs, so long as they are within the voltage specifications of the bridge. The output will be as labeled on the bridge with + voltage coming out the + connection and - voltage out the - connection.You also need to make certain that the current load does not exceed the capacity of the bridge.On the other hand, if you're trying to build a bridge rectifier from diodes, send me an e-mail address and I'll send a drawing. My e-mail address is on my bio page.
A full wave bridge rectifier converts AC (Alternating Current) into DC (Direct Current) with an AC component. To achieve DC only, the output of the bridge rectifier must have the AC component removed by bypassing it, usually with capacitors. It consists of 4 diodes in a bridge format. During one half of an AC cycle, two of the diodes conduct and on the other half a cycle the other two conduct. Diodes allow current to flow in one direction only.

Reverse resistance should be infinite.
it depends on where it is located on the ups circuit. typically you should find rectifying diodes, clamps, voltage reference, and switching diodes in a ups system
low output
It is not really necessary for 2 diodes of full wave rectifier to be identical. However, it must be understood that the two diodes will have the same forward current, and the same reverse voltage, applied to them, so their ratings should be comparable.
There are many things you should expect in a hotel room. You should expect a window, a bed, and a bathroom.
you should expect maybe cold weather in the Himalayas.
In bridge, you should have at least 13 points to preempt.
You can use most diodes for that purpose, and particularly silicon diodes. However, you should not use zener diodes and similar for rectification purposes. Otherwise, you will likely not get the intended result. If the voltage exceeds the avalanche voltage, then the zener diode will no longer rectify, but conduct the other way as well.
You should expect disruptive, harmful, harassing behavior when guarding detainees.
