>And BOB: Do you not get a voltage drop in each diode? The more diodes you

>>Rich....Boring isn't the word for it.

>>Gimminee f#$%ing Christmas   Are you guys for real?  Do you have any ideas
>>what 1N5408s cost when bought in quantity? One year ago I purchased 2 bags
>>of 100 1N5408s for 40 bucks at RF Parts ! That's 20 cents a piece. With 200
>>diodes and a few pieces of perf board I can  make 3 full wave bridge
>>rectifiers with 10Kv on a leg and still have still have 80 diodes left over
>>for various projects. If you connect that to a transformer with a secondary
>>voltage of 3500 volts the PIV of an individual leg is 4900 volts. That
>>leaves you with a safety factor of 100% !  Worried about transients?  Slap
>>an MOV on the primary!
>>
>>Get A Clue !
>>
>>better yet
