Bridge voltage rating: Re: Power supply for Servos - bridge and caps

A small bit of trivia: in general, the higher the voltage rating of a
diode, the higher it's voltage drop. So for high current
applications, you don't want to get too carried away with voltage
rating, because the higher voltage bridge will get hotter than the
lower voltage one. I'm no expert, but for me, I think I'd pick the
200V one, depending on how well it was going to be heat sunk.
