Paralelling bridges? - Click HERE for Original Thread
K-amps
This may be a bad idea... but has anyone tried paralelling bridge rectifiers? :cannotbe:

Not necessarily for more current but for reducing the impedence and therefore maybe the voltage drop....

My concerns are around RF, current hogging (fix with 0.05 ohm power resistor?) :rolleyes:

Any thoughts from the gurus?

thanks!

paralleling rectifiers will NOT reduce their voltage drop (well, it does but just too insignificant as Vf does drop a little with Ic).

balancing the two can be very tricky.

if forward voltage is your goal, try schottky rectifiers. if current is your goal, get a beefier rectifier.

Probably not worth the effort right?
