Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Rectifiers

Probsbly a bad idea. You might get away with it by using a matched pair of
bridges and / or some very low ohm resistors to balance the load.

A single 10 amp bridge should not be that expensive.

You have another alternative, build a bridge out of discrete 25 - 50 amp
diodes on heatsinks and cooling fan if necessary.

If this is a home / personal machine salvage some auto alternator diodes at
a salvage yard. You should be able to find them in both polarities
Cathode to case and Anode to case) so that you only need two isolated
heatsinks instead of three.
