Default making a Bridge Rectifier from Diodes ?

On 5/7/2010 2:14 PM David Nebenzahl spake thus:

Huh? Where do you get that?

Despite only operating half-cycle, each diode gets the full current
flowing through it, so you need *at least* 40A diodes, better yet 40A.


I meant to write "better yet *50A*".
