[Amps] Chinese 15KV 2A rectifier modules?

[peter chadwick]

Give a thought to the peak current if you are using a capacitor input filter - I don't think ovens have much reservoir capacity.

 Subject: [Amps] Chinese 15KV 2A rectifier modules?
 
 Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) using the Chinese 15KV, 2A 
 rectifier modules that were selling on eBay a while back? The part 
 number printed on the side is PRHVP2A-20 .
 
 I bought a handful a year or so ago when I was building my hi-pot 
 tester. They seem to handle high voltages without issue, (my hi-pot 
 works fine past 10KV) but seem awfully small for the 2A current rating.
 
 The reason I ask is because I've been contemplating building yet another 
 6A10 rectifier board for a single 8877 I'm working on. The modules would 
 be easier/smaller, but since the encapsulated part is only (roughly) 
 1.5" x .5", I'm thinking the ratings may be too good to be true.
 
 Thanks,
 Jim N7CXI
