how do you test the capacitor bank ?

Answer Posted / rajavel

capacitor can be tested by connecting any one terminal of
the dc voltage(either +ve or -ve) directly and other one
terminal through lamp.if the lamp continuously glows then
the capacitor is short. if the bulb is not glow then the
capacitor is open.
and another method is by multimeter by putting in diode
checking mode we can observe initialy it shows 0 and
grarually the voltage is increasing and then it goes to OL
