That will vary depending on your load. If the load absorbs most of the
pulse, it will not heat up. But the energy stored in the inductor has
to go somewhere, so if there is no load it might heat up the diode.

I got a new 5V DC 20amp switching supply. If i put a 12KV (or 2) oven diode backwards across the +/- will that give me some spike protection?
