Re: hybrid silicon-tube bridge rectifier

63.246.182.161

My own circuit to ease rectifier requirements uses a SS full wave bridge (four diodes) with a rectifier tube in the negative lead. The tube's anodes are paralleled, so it acts as a single diode. I place the main filter choke between the rectifier tube and ground to minimize hash that might otherwise be conducted to the chassis. This also relieves the voltage breadown requirements for the choke (an important consideration when anode voltages approach 1KV).
