So I have a bridge rectifier, I think it's the 8A from this data sheet (although I'd swear it said 1000V on the package when I got it...packaging I no longer have...) but anyway, I want to test it with 15kHz square wave AC to see how it performs. How do I test it exactly, that is what do I look for on my oscilloscope to determine its performance, or if its leakage current is too high, etc?
EDIT: I understand that with diodes there may be some sort of delay time between switching between allowing current to pass through and blocking it (hence schottky diodes which allow for high speed switching). But I don't know what sort of switching frequencies are good for what sort of diodes/rectifiers, so I want to test for that.
