Yes. this is commonly done. However, performance is better and costs lower if you use the proper diode for production devices. Absolutely NOT. For the same reason that capacitor cannot be added in series to withstand higher voltage. Not all components are made equally Supposed that you have two diodes rated at 100v add them in series makes 200v not quite if one leaks more then the other unequal voltage will results blowing them up. There is a simple solution add a parallel high resistor across each component to equalize the voltage then YES it is possible to add them in series

Basic impulse level BIL?

The Basic impulse level is the maximum peak voltage that a piece of equipment can withstand. When you exceed this rating the insulation will break down and short out.


What is the importance of peak inverse voltage?

Peak inverse voltage of a device like diode gives the maximum value of voltage that it can withstand without being damaged when it is reverse biased.


What does MD stand for in electrical terms?

Md stands for maximum demand.max dem =connected load /diversity factor.diversity factors min value -1.


What is link between maximum current and average current?

You are, presumably, referring to alternating current, in which case the 'maximum' current is the peak or amplitude of the waveform. The 'average' value of current is zero, because the average value of the first half of each cycle is negated by the average value over the second half of each cycle. This is why a.c. currents and voltages are always expressed in 'root-mean-square' (r.m.s.) values which is the value of an a.c. current that does the same amount of work as a given value of d.c. current. The r.m.s. value for a sinusoidal current (and voltage, as voltage and current are proportional) is 0.707 times the peak or maximum value.


What is the Max distance from house to power pole?

The maximum distance of a wire drop between a service pole and service connection is undefined, as it depends on many factors not included in the question. The information needed to actually compute such a distance includes, but it is not limited to, the service volts, the service Class (60, 100, 200, 400 or more amps), and whether or not the drop involves a mid span tap -- that is, the service is actually connected not to a pole, but it is connected to secondary wires between two poles. <<>> A utility company will usually bring their service a maximum of 100 feet on to private property.

The more voltage that is required to break down an insulator the greater its?

dielectric strength. Dielectric strength refers to the maximum electric field that a material can withstand without breaking down and allowing current to flow through it. Materials with higher dielectric strength are better insulators and can withstand higher voltages.
