Experimental high voltage bridge rectifier

[mixos1]

This high voltage bridge rectifier made from microwave oven diodes, i was able to find out the details of these diodes from the net, each is rated at 12kv 550ma so in total thats 48kv

It seems it would be difficult to modulate high voltage. Does the TV modulate high voltage or just utilize high voltage? You really could not use a transistor with high voltage, am I wrong.

re kevin weddle. kevin this was just an exsperiment with the similiar workings of a smaller bridge rectifier , feed ac into it and get paulsating dc out, as for the capacitors i need for it, i have a big box full but not what i may need. so untill i can get the right parts this exsperimental high voltage bridge circuit wont go any further.

ive dissmantled this high voltage rectifier circuit made from 12 kv microwave oven diodes and made another high voltage polarity indicater, voltage optimizer as i call it because it seems to give optimin arcs when used for the hv out and return s of my high voltage circuits

how would you check the output is DC or AC?

 

[steven2]

suraj like any bridge rectifier they put out paulsating dc voltage, all you have to do is use a high voltage polarity indicator to check or other then use the right filter capacitor then regulater circuit. but in this case the high voltage bridge rectifier made from midrowave oven diodes would need a higher voltage rated filter capacitor and other things i dont have
