What's the procedure?  Simply connect diodes to the tester at 1300V and only 
use the ones that don't smoke?   :-)

No, but the only practical way to limit reverse current to a safe value 
is to use more total piv than exists in the circuit. For example, in 
the current project, the actual piv per leg should c. 9900v. I used 
14, 1000v-rated 1N5408 diodes per leg that measured c. 1300piv each on 
a high-pot tester. This will give a safety factor of c. 8000v.
