Thanks. That helped me out a lot.

Hi. I'm building a coil gun. It's got 2 2700 uf capacitors at 400 volts each. I'm going to wire them in parallel. I also have 2 40 amp 600 volt rectifier diodes with an 800 amp surge rating (1N1190AR) and I don't know where to put them. I'm going to use 2 SCR switches (S6070WTP-ND) in parallel. I know I need to protect the SCRs from reverse current as well as the capacitors and the charging circuits. can someone please help me out?
