Part numbering guide for welding diodes
Welding diodes are available in light package, thin and hermetically sealed ceramic housings. Industry standard design housing enables easy installation into existing equipment.
Features of welding diodes: capsule type metal-ceramic package with pressure contacts or slim package without external case, medium voltage, high current rectifier diode with slim package for lowest thermal resistance, low power dissipation and low thermal resistance, especially suited for water cooling, forward selections for paralleling available.
"Air-cooled heatsinks O series for disc devices", "Air heatsink SF series", "Water heatsink SS series" for diode cooling are also available to order.
Series of welding diodes has the following features: ability to conduct high mean forward current, allowing to reduce the amount of parallel devices; high resistance to electric and thermal cycling ensures a long service life; minimal static losses; high maximal junction temperature (Tjmax) allows these diodes to conduct higher current with the same cooling system; possibility of double-sided cooling; optimized for high current rectifiers; very low thermal resistance; designed for medium and high frequency welding equipment.
Rectifier Diodes AS ENERGITM have the following features: low static and dynamic losses, high values of VRSM/VRRM, extensive experience of using the devices in various industries, range of voltages from 100 to 9000 V and amperages from 100 to 7500 A, high resistance to thermal and electric cycling.
Our company provides a quality guarantee for rectifier diodes of 2 years from the date of purchase. When supplying diodes, if necessary, we provide technical passport and certificate of conformity.
The final price of welding diodes depends on the voltage class, quantity, delivery terms, manufacturer, country of origin and form of payment.

Installation recommendations for disc type power rectifier diodes:
The reliability of heat transfer and electrical contact between the mating surfaces of the diode and the cooler over the entire temperature range is ensured by appropriate torque (clamping force).
Before assembly you should perform visual inspection (1) contact surfaces for mechanical damages and wipe (2), soaked with alcohol (toluene, gasoline, acetone).
After inspection, fix the current contacts (leads), install a pin to fix the alignment of the structure.
To improve the parameters of heat transfer it is recommended to lubricate (3) a thin layer of silicone thermal conductive paste before the assembly, which is not a mandatory condition for installation.
Install the diode (3), the second part of the cooler, the fiberglass insulator and the thrust washer.
To thread the traverse (4) and evenly tighten the nuts. Make sure no misalignment and evenness of the contact surfaces.
When the parts are sufficiently clamped but moveable, we recommend placing the cooler on a flat surface and checking the tolerance for parallelism of the overall adjacent plane of the surfaces (5).
Clamp each nut in turn (about a quarter turn) to the stop (6). The amount of deflection of the traverse determines whether the achieved clamping force corresponds to the required one.
After installation, the fasteners (nuts and washers) must be additionally secured against corrosion.
Tips and recommendations for power diodes:
The power diodes should not be operated for long periods of time at their limit load for all parameters. In this case, the safety factor is determined by the required degree of reliability of the device.
Replace a failed power diode with a diode that matches the parameters of the one being replaced.
Supercooling must be provided when operating in an environment with an elevated ambient temperature.
Periodic cleaning of power diodes and coolers to remove dust and contaminants is recommended to ensure proper heat dissipation.
Inductive current dividers (often twisted toroidal wire) should be used to equalize currents between power diodes connected in parallel. The most popular connection methods are closed circuit, common coil circuit, or power diode. The efficiency of current dividers in this case is determined by the cross section of the magnetic wire.
Prevention of voltage unbalance when power diodes are connected in series is achieved by using shunt resistors connected in parallel with each diode. Voltage equalization in transient conditions is provided by connecting capacitors in parallel to each diode.
It is strictly forbidden to touch power diodes under high voltage during operation.
