As reverse voltage is applied to this rectifier it will at some point breakdown whereby massive current can flow in the reverse direction. This current is called saturation current . These rectifiers are very common they start at 50v to 1000v breakdown voltage the last 1n400x 2n400x are the number designated as reverse voltage potential 1n4001 isis the lowest voltage
