Bridge rectifier in parallel?

In most cases, paralleling diodes is not a good idea. Their forward voltage drops V_f can be different, if they are not from the same batch. As a result one diode with the lowest V_f in the bank will conduct more current than the rest and more than it's rated for. That diode will get burned. Then the next one will get overcurrent in the same fashion. Untill all of the parallel diodes in the bank are burned. I'm afraid that the quote in the O.P. is describing this [wrong] approach.

But a bridge rectifier could lend itself to a possible workaround. Suppose, you've got 4x bridge rectifier ICs. You must assume that they are not from the same batch. But each of the diodes inside the bridge is from the same batch, because they are on the same die.

Notice that there are parallel diode connections within the bridges, but not between the bridges. No more than 2x bridges can be paralleled this way.

Proceed with caution. Best of all, just get a single bridge with sufficient current rating.

The effective PIV rating will be 200% if the leakage currents are matched and thus share the PIV. There are no tolerances on leakage, so no guarantee.

The effective current rating will be 200% if the ESR is identical in both bridges if the ESR are identical. Unfortunately this too is not tolerance and only Worst case is given.

The real problem is due to the Shockley voltage thermal effect being an NTC. As the lower ESR shunts more current and gets hotter and net power dissipation rises further hogging current. Close thermal matching can be done to alleviate this but then it comes down to staying below the current level that causes thermal runaway. This threshold depends on mismatch and a ratio of Rja and Resr and is not easily calculated only by statistical results.

Since there are no guarantees on doubling and good reasons for mismatch in manufacturing tolerances. It only gives some margin if you are planning on operating near the spec of one and two such devices costs too much more than one with double PIV and double current. It is better to get 5 quotes on different parts and improve costs than try to get uncertain margin here to save a bit.
