One is laid bare by [WizardTim], as he cross-sections a 20KV high ... diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum reverse voltage, for example with the 1N4001 ...

First he guaranteed he was working with a DC power source by inserting a small full-wave bridge rectifier ... he used some 1978 vintage current limiting diodes designed to pass 2mA each regardless ...

Power management leader, Kinetic Technologies, is expanding its Power over Ethernet (PoE) portfolio with the introduction of the KTA1170 dual active bridge rectifier. This device is a single-chip, ...
