Hi Kenneth,
The diodes typically have a peak inverse voltage rating
of around 12kV. They also have a current rating around 1/2 Amp.
Several in series can be used a nice DC supply. I built and use one
for very low PRF ping tests for observing coil behaviour. Great for
simple DC tests on homebuilt capacitors. Using an inverter from a low
voltage source is a bit safer than using a rectified neon transformer.
