Full Wave Bridge Rectifier

[Bronco Jolly]

Can stand alone   Full Wave Bridge Rectifier be checked for status while not in circut.

Does need to be under load to check?

Sure it can be, you only have to feed an AC signal to it's input (form a transformer for example) and measure it's output using an oscilloscope. Oscilloscope probe and input will provide some load to the rectifier and thus you will be able to see the full wave rectification and determinate if the bridge is working.
