decrease in DC output voltage.
No, ONE a shorted diode would cause huge currents in the winding connected to that phase. Two shorted diodes on the same phase would cause huge DC currents and blow the fusible link.

I hope not a meter that claims to measure currents of (say) 10 amps!

He was speaking of when I measured the resistance of the cables and terminals. Not current.
I was assuming it was a multimeter. Low[er] resistance leads on any multi- purpose meter are useful!
