Hello Everyone,
I constructed eight strings of 50, 1000V, 10 A diodes. I assembled and
tested four strings without equalizing capacitors and resistors and four
strings with equalizing capacitors and resistors.The diodes came off
eBay from a company in China. All diodes checked OK on my diode tester.
These strings were then soldered into two full wave bridge rectifiers
powered by a variac. My scope shows a 60Hz output on both which should
be 120 hz output. The negative output string that connects to the wiper
of the variac becomes too hot too touch at less than 5 volts output on
both units. One of these when working properly will be supplied by an 8
Mot stack.
All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
