Good Question, I also bought 5 pieces of used 30kV / 750mA diodes some days
ago. A good method to test them: simply connect for example an OBIT
transformer and charge a HV capacitor. When the cap is charging and holds
it's voltage, then the diodes should be okay.

Subject: [TCML] Testing HVdiodes
Hi All,
I recently picked up a couple of diodes (5" black plastic rectangular
rods) rated 200 ma @ 80 KV. A standard diode checker doesn't seem to work
with ones this big. Is there an easy way to test them before they go in
the circuit?
