Howdy. I got four 12kV rectifier diodes and I want to make one higher voltage diod= e out of them. Its use is to block a short pulse, so it can leak some current= ... So I put them in serie, and in parallel with each diode I put a 12kV resist= or. Does this suffice? I have seen diode arrays that use capacitors as well, bu= t I never saw a schematic of these arrays. But in my application I thought th= at resistors should suffice, am I wrong? Thank you.
