Hi,
For a rectifier rated at 200V and 70Amps RMS current, is it possible to
parallel multiple diodes (ie two 200V 35Amp diodes) if small series
resistors are used on each diode to help balance the current as well as
mounting to the same heatsink to have close temperatures?
Also some TO-220 and TO-247 packages have two diodes, is it safer to
parallel these since they will be similar in structure and have very
close temperatures?
I would like to be able to use standard throughhole parts rather than
stud mount diodes, but 200V and 70Amps seems to be pushing it for
TO-220 and TO-247 package diodes.
cheers,
Jamie
I just sent you a couple of ST app notes :)
