Hmm, I did not know that.I have some 40kV diodes. I think the forward voltage drop is about 10 volts. (because the are many diodes in series)
Apart from the possible high forward drop, rectifier diodes with that much junction area may have a high reverse leakage current. This would give you some odd results if your low voltage power supply were not loaded. You can check how the diodes perform put say an amp through them and see what the forward drp is. It should be around 600mV. Then put about 12V reverse voltage on the diode and measure the leakage current.I have some of these and was thinking of using them for for 12 or 24 volt power supplies.
Is there any technical reason why these HV rectifiers should not be used for low voltage supplies?

50 amp, 1600 volt, wow!
Are those rectifiers brand name, like Semikron?
