holding the transformer side panels
and SCR assembly rails to the main
transformer. See Figure F.23.

electrical connections on the aluminum
heat sinks.
UPON REASSEMBLY, THE SCR
BRIDGE ASSEMBLY MUST BE ELEC-
TRICALLY ISOLATED FROM
GROUND.

15. Place insulators between SCR
bridge assembly and the output
rectifier mounting bracket (see
Figure F.23). Check for electrical
isolation with an analog ohmmeter.
MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE RESIS-
TANCE TO GROUND IS 500,000
OHMS.
