re: I need help to identify a component on speed control circuit board

Robert,

Thank you for that chart. If I understand correctly, my rectifier is 3 amp; 600 volts. In my searches, I came across a rectifier that says: "This part is the equivalent replacement for . . . PB36 . . . ", but what confuses me is that it is an 8 amp; 600 volt rectifier.

Can a different size be used without causing problems? For example, could I use a 6 amp 600 volt or a 6 amp 800 volt? (I can find single/small quantity of those sizes for a reasonable price, but I’m only finding large quantities of 3 amp 600 volt.)

Thanks again for your help.
