Rich says; >Two diodes rated at 100piv minimum are connected in series. One diode >measures 101piv and the other measures 190piv. The diodes are wired in >series. No ''equalization'' is used. A mains surge of 250p-v appears. >Does either diode conduct in the reverse direction? Maybe. You haven't provided enough information. If the PIVs are that different, the capacities are likely to be so, so the answer is 'quite possibly'. You're assuming that it is purely the reverse leakage that determines the voltage distribution. 73 Peter G3RZP -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/ampsfaq.html Submissions: amps@contesting.com Administrative requests: amps-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-amps@contesting.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search.htm |
