What does this failure tell us about the PIV rating of the

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.
