The 866A and 3B28 are rated at 10KV peak inverse voltage. The maximum DC 
output voltage in a full wave  recetifier circuit using a midtapped 
transformer is about 3100V, or 6200V using four of them in a full wave 
bridge. A 5KV rectifier would not make a good replacement  in the 
conventional FW rectifier unless the output voltage is less than 1550V 
DC, or 3100 VDC maximum in the full wave bridge.

If the  rectifier is designed as a replacement for the 866A or 3B28, 
then the voltage rating should be at  least 10KV.
