Hello, I have 3 secondaries from one transformer that need to be rectified. Each secondary winding right now can handle 24 amps within the limit of the wire.
I do know that a lot of people say that the rectifiers will get in cycle where one rectifier blows up after the other one. However I plan on placing all three bridge rectifiers on one heat sink so that if one rectifier gets too hot it will raise the temperature of the other two.
The reason I want to parallel 3 rectifiers is because I will be running about 60 to 65 amps through my load, and at least for now no rectifier I can find can handle that many amps.
Thanks for any advice
