Hi!
I'm constructing a High Voltage PSU using a doubling-circuit.
But analyzing the circuit tells me that the current for the diodes will be
rather high...
I have lots of 500V/5 A diodes that I would like to use. Now comes the
question....
Can I parallel them?????
I would like to use 6 Diodes in 2 "legs" (in parallel) making up one beefy
diode.
Here follows a very crude schematic:
Resistor -->Diode--->Diode etc. -->Diode ----\
----/ ------
\Resistor -->Diode--->Diode etc. -->Diode ----/
Is an equalizing Series Resistor for each diode-leg useful or just an "old
truth"?
