Now that's funny!

One has to think along the lines of "What did a huge current spike damage?" Does your reconnect switch work as it should, allowing you to select single phase and 3-phase configurations? The contacts in that switch had to take some abuse during the "event". Forgive me if this was covered...

If it were mine, I'd assume you're within measurement error of correct. But I'm going my experience with transformers in general, and not the very special CVT1. (leaving an excuse in case I'm wrong)

It's been a while since I looked at mine, but I think there are two heat sinks, each with three diodes on it. Look around the full circle. There are three of each of two types. One type is cathode on the threaded stud and the other type is anode on the threaded stud. Here's some information...

Did you ever check the rotating diodes as DieselAddict suggested? I can't remember.

It's normal that the exciter voltage is less than 24. That resistor on the A4 board is there to drop the 24v to a lower value, limiting the current. I just started my 003A and measured the exciter voltage during cranking and when the engine started. It was less than 9v during cranking, and...

The manual to your meter should explain that the displayed number is the forward voltage drop of the diode. Here is an excerpt from the Fluke 87 manual: "Use the diode test to check diodes, transistors, silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor devices. This function tests...

You were correct before. The diode test function of the meter applies a small current to the diode and measures the voltage drop across its junction. Then it displays that forward voltage drop. Resistance of the junction is not something that's useful to try to measure, since the apparent...
