30 amp with a voltage rating of at least 24 volts, ( most high power diodes will have over 100 volt rating). The PIV (peak inverse voltage) rating should also be 48volts or higher.
Good engineering standards is to use a component rating at least 2 – 3 x the expected normal operating range.
Or just purchase one from your favorite "A" parts supplier.
