BY255 should be a suitable building block rated 1300V PIV 3A. Use equalizing resistors in parallell with each diode, typical values used are 470...820kohm. Only controlled avalanche diodes can be ser
Ken On the serious side, use 6 x 1Kvolt @ 1A in parallel if u are stuck. Don't get zapped 73 mal/g3kev -- Original Message -- From: [email protected] mal hamilton To: rsgb_lf_group@blacksheep.
Hi Mal surely "in series" to give a 4 KV diode at 1amp ? dave G8SZX mal hamilton wrote: Ken On the serious side, use 6 x 1Kvolt @ 1A in parallel if u are stuck. Don't get zapped 73 mal/g3kev -- Origi
Hi Paul. If I could locate some BY1800 or BY2000 (1800v & 2000 V) that would be better, but again have not found a stockist, the BY255 were from Germany. Ken M0KHW Ok Ken Further I would not worry as
Hi Paul. On my last mailing I got the BY255 current wrong. Ken M0KHW BY255 should be a suitable building block rated 1300V PIV 3A. Use equalizing resistors in parallell with each diode, typical value

Hello Everyone. Thanks for the replies, I have some BY255's which are rated at 1300v at 1A, the input to the diode stack is about 2.3KV peak, and was planning to use two BY255s in series in each of t
Hello Ken How about these on ebay? 4pcs 1 Amp 10kV High Voltage Rectifier Item number:250539436700 Tracey Hello Everyone. Thanks for the replies, I have some BY255's which are rated at 1300v at 1A, t
Yes series for more V parallel for more I(amps) and preferable some R and C across each except they are really identical. mal/g3kev -- Original Message -- From: [email protected] David Towers
Ok Ken Further I would not worry as much regarding the voltage rating of the equalizing resistors. Use physically large units with an adequate power rating (U^2 / R) and they will probably be fine. A
Hi Tacey. Thanks for the reply. I only seached ebay up to 5kV. Ken Hello Ken How about these on ebay? 4pcs 1 Amp 10kV High Voltage Rectifier Item number:250539436700 Tracey Hello Everyone. Thanks for
