[AMPS] Diode Blocks

[Ron Hooper]

I ripped apart a junk microwave Tuesday night
and took the rectifier block out and brought into the test lab here at
work.
We hooked it up to our trusty underground cable testing machine and
proceeded to cook it for almost 60 hours at 8kV (AC), 4 amps.  They got
warm
(ok, HOT, 75 deg. C) but didn't fail. 

Ok, guys with the egg on your face, are you convienced yet? You show go
out and purchase
some of K2aw's diodes, as an act of good faith. All of this was kinda
fun, lets get something else going now.
