Omniata Forum Supporter Messages 3,191 Location UK Dec 1, 2009 #21 I'm planning to make a AC to DC rectifier for my 250A oxford at some point, working the maths though I had to get 4 x 250A diodes to cope... Cost wise the 300A diodes weren't too much more expensive at ~£30 a pop

For things like welders that get rough usage I like to triple the ratings. The large diode in the photo is a 300 amp at 200 volts. Robert
