Chapter 2 Power Component Definition and Maintenance
There is a test point inside the PowerCage module to measure the resistance of
the snubber resistor and capacitance of the snubber capacitor. The test point is
the electrical connection between the snubber resistor and snubber capacitor.
Place one probe of the multimeter on the test point and the other probe on the
appropriate heatsink to determine the value of the resistor or capacitor. See
