What does this failure tell us about the PIV rating of the
trio? Not much, I think. You don't know that thew trio
failed from excessive voltage. Could have been a bond
failure that overheated one of them.
All three diodes were open.
So what do you conclude caused this failure, if anything?
I have no idea. All I found was four lugs and burnt plastic ash.
There was nothing left to do failure analysis on.
