    Followup: It would be possible to modify the circuit and use only two diodes. In that case, the two between AC and ground would be missing and you would only have the other two to test.

    Furthermore, it is also possible to use only one diode. That is called a half wave rectifier. Often done in lawn mowers.

    Anything to save a buck.

    Just so you know.
