So I have been working on electronics for about 8 years now and today I was troubleshooting a rapid charger and I noticed that the diodes that made up the rectifier were all reading 70VDC across them. I have been scratching my head since and can not figure out why this is happening since I have always thought that the voltage across diodes should be about .7 or so. I have included the schematic I was using. I took my voltages across D1 and also D2 - D4 with the same results. Anyone have any idea?
