It depends of your panel ratings. usualy, a panel short-circuited has a maximum current, you can base the value on that.

But if you are doing an array of panels, you have to pai attention to the parallel connection, once that multiplies the current across the circuit. in this case you have to use diodes that support the current of the array.

Why does short circuit fault occurs in diode?

A short circuit fault in a diode occurs when there is an unintended low-resistance path that allows current to bypass the diode, typically due to a breakdown of its junction or an external failure in the circuit. This can happen due to excessive voltage, thermal stress, or physical damage, leading to a short between the anode and cathode. When this occurs, the diode can no longer control the flow of current, resulting in excessive current that can damage the diode and other components in the circuit. Proper circuit design and protective measures are essential to prevent such faults.


When does the diode not allowed to flow the current?

A diode is a one-way gate for electrical current to flow through. You must have the right size diode for the amount of current that will be used in your circuit. The stripe on the diode is your output end. That is, the current must enter your diode at the non-stripe end and leave at the end with the stripe. This coincides with the diode symbol used on your schematic. If your diode is in backwards, the circuit will not work as the gate in the diode will block the current just the way it should.


What type of diode maintains constant current?

zener diode


What is zeren diode?

A normal diode only allows current to flow in one direction, e.g: A to B. However, current will only flow across this diode A to B when there is a voltage ( called the breakdown voltage), and different normal diodes require different voltages to allow current to flow, e.g: silicon diodes allow current to flow A to B when there is a minimum of 0.6V flowing, at which point the resistance drops, and current flows. A zener diode does exactly this, however, it also allows current to flow in an opposite direction once the breakdown voltage for this direction has been reached. e.g: if a Zener diode has a breakdown voltage of 3.6V, at 3.6V its resistance will drop significantly enough so that current can flow. hopes this helps


How much current draw zener diode?

It depends on the particular zener diode. Typically, they will pull 75 ma of current.

What is the function of Bypass diode in the test terminals of a pressure transmitter?

The function of the bypass diode is to allow the loop current to be measured without disconnecting the current loop connections. It therefore allows for a quick measurement of the loop current without disturbing any control or monitoring equipment that is connected to it. This is achieved by simply connecting an ammeter across the diode. If the voltage drop across the ammeter is less than that of the diode (about 0.6V) then all of the loop current will flow through the ammeter rather than the diode. The ammeter is therefore able to measure the loop current.

Why does a rectifier diode is not operated in breakdown voltage?

The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum voltage at which it conducts in both directions. If you have a 100-volt rectifier diode (1N4002) and you wire it into a 110v circuit, it will flow current in both directions and you'll get no rectification.
