I believe Peeler has set a record for never having posted anything with
redeeming social value. Most trolls at least throw out something that will
elicit a reply other than FOAD.

Has he ever said anything about electronics?

You got a ridiculous fetishism about your idiotic \"electronics\", you
troll-feeding senile weirdo. LOL But then, all you discarded senile
blabbermouths are not quite right in your heads, just like that ridiculous
always verbose and grandiloquent bigmouth you just addressed. LOL

Not that I can remember. I read this in alt.home.repair and he\'s never
posted anything constructive there either. I\'m one of his favorite targets

I was actually talking about a stepup transformer. 120V to 6000V.
Yes it\'s American, I got it cheap. To avoid finding a 6000V diode, I
thought I could use a 120V diode. From all the answers it appears I
was wrong to assume because the current is going one way through the
primary it must be going the same way through the secondary.
Actually the DC component is lost and the AC is passed, so I just get
squint AC.

Trying to make a high voltage DC supply? You can get 1KV 1 amp diodes
for a few cents each. Those can be used in series.

You should generally be careful doing that. If one is leaky it will put
a far higher voltage across the others. In general you need to select
for reverse leakage current OR put high value resistsiors across them to
guarantee a predictable \'leakiness\'
That isn\'t generally an issue. It is inherent they will conduct a small
current, but that will naturally equalise as they get close to their
breakdown voltage.

It would be an issue if they fail shorted. I have had many zeners shorted and blowing a resistive fuse. Unfortunately, they usually take out other components before blowing.

Ah. Humor. Thanks for the laugh.

I thought current always flowed the same way in primary and

You clearly shouldn\'t have anything to do with transformers and diodes.

Assume a loaded bifilar transformer, both dots up, and draw the
winding currents.

No idea what you mean by dots.

The reason that loading a transformer doesn\'t make it saturate is
because the primary excitation flux and the flux from the secondary
load current cancel. Loading a transformer reduces the core flux.

Dots are little round filled circles. They indicate winding polarity.

Otherwise you are indeed correct. There is a saying, the more you know,
