The circuit values shown limit the forward current to a safe 150 A and maximum reverse voltage to 1.2 V. Some simple modifications to the circuit can change these limits. Sponsored Recommendations ...

Diodes, one-way current conductors, are used for voltage regulation, AC/DC conversion, and circuit protection. Forward-biased at 0.6V, conduct current, reverse bias blocks it.

This is the time that a diode remains conducting when suddenly switched from forward to reverse biased. I had to figure out a way to measure these parameters. Not with exotic equipment; just enough to ...
