RE: How do I double the voltage on diodes? Parallel or series?

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.
