In Reply to: RE: How do I double the voltage on diodes? Parallel or series? posted by Cleet Torres on August 21, 2014 at 05:12:06
You need 1200V bare minimum - 1600V would be better... why not use 1000V diodes in series? I wouldn't trust 600V parts in series to take 1200V peak.
And why an 8A rectifier? A 1A or 4A part will be easier to mount with no exposed terminals and will have less switching noise. MUR1100E or MUR4100E. 4100E is 25 cents in volume, 1100E is less.
Follow Ups:
I have a boat load of them lying around. May as well use them right?And I'll argue the switching noise comment - MUR860's are for all intends and purposes noiseless.

You could play safe and use three in series, if you are intent on using them.
