Is there a diode made that works with AC 120 volt 20 amp?
If so can it completely stop all current flow in 1
direction at all times?



Is there a diode made that works with AC 120 volt 20 amp? If so can it completely stop all curren..

Answer / Binay Kumar Yadav

Yes, there are AC diodes called silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) or thyristors that can handle high voltage and current. However, a single SCR cannot completely stop the current flow in one direction at all times as it is a unidirectional semiconductor device and allows current to flow only in one direction.
