[Amps] Source for economical HV diodes?

[Dave Haupt]

I'm in the final stages of building a small hipot
tester.  The last item I need is high voltage
rectifier diodes.  My diode stacks need to withstand
20kV.  I know I can series lots of diodes, but this
becomes a LOT of diodes if I start with 1kV diodes!

I've found a few sources for microwave oven diodes,
but I'd still need to series several
not-very-inexpensive diodes.

Ultimately I need four such stacks of HV diodes.

TIA!

73,
