Default Safely testing 22 kV capacitors

so you need 30kV diodes, minimum. 40 or 50kV would be even nicer.


Tim, I lost you a little bit here, sorry. Are you saying that I need
single 30kV diodes and that putting 1 kV diodes in series is
unsuitable? Or are you saying that twenty 1,000 V diodes is not
enough?


30-50kV PIV "diode", collectively. You can make that "diode" out of as many
1N4001 diode*s* as you need.
