List,
Sometimes I come across HV diodes with unknown data. Searching the
web is invane mostly. So I have three choices:
1. Install the diode in a HV machine and flip the ON switch.
2. Throw it into the scrap basket.
3. Try to find out the PIV max.
Preferring reaction number 3, I have built a HiPot tester, which
delivers voltages up to 30 kV.
Q: Is there a standardized reverse current, the PIV max is specified
to? I.e. If I measure 20 kV @ 2 µA, is 20 kV the correct PIV max?
Cheers,
Herwig
Bye Herwig
