Angelo,
Some HV diodes cant be measured using a low voltage (1.5 volt) ohm meter
because of the voltage drop across the diode. The old damper diodes in TV sets
were this way. Anyhow, I used to use a 12 volt PSU and measure between the hot
diode and ground for 12 Vdc one direction and nothing the other direction when
reversing the diode. You'll probably get about 9-10 volts for the reading due
to the drop but should read zero in the opposite direction. A 9 volt battery
would also work but deduct about 2.5-3 volts for the reading.
Best,
Will
