There are two diode ratings. One is the forward current rating, and the other is the reverse breakdown voltage rating. The forward current rating is the maximum current that the diode can conduct before failing, and the reverse breakdown voltage rating is the maximum reverse voltage that can be applied before failing.
Of course, the reverse voltage rating has a different meaning in a zener diode, but this answer applies to ordinary diodes.

IN5408 diode what does it do?
The IN5408 diode is an ordinary silicon diode. It has a 3 amp forward current rating, and a 1000 volt peak reverse voltage rating.
What is difference between power diode and ordinary diode?
the High voltage rated diodes are power diodes while of low rating or normal voltage rating are considered to as ordinary / normal diode
How do you find the current rating of a zener diode if the power rating is 500mw and a voltage rating of 10v?
A zener diode with a rating of 500 mW will pass 50 mA at 10 V. (Power = voltage times current)Note: The question appears mis stated, in that it states a rating of 500 MW, not 500 mW. To my knowledge, there is no zener with a rating of 500 MW.
What diode is the equivalent to an S210?
The S210 is a Schottky barrier rectifier diode with a voltage rating of 20V and a current rating of 10A. An equivalent diode would be the 1N5817, which has similar specifications, including a maximum reverse voltage of 20V and a forward current rating of 1A. However, for applications requiring higher current, the 1N5820, rated for 40V and 3A, could be considered as a more robust alternative. Always ensure to check the specific application requirements before selecting an equivalent diode.
Does the current rating of a diode change when it is used in a bridge rectifier EG A bridge made up from four 10 amp diodes would it have a different total current rating. DD?

What is the significance of piv of diode?
The PIV (Peak Inverse Voltage) rating of a diode is the maximum voltage that you should apply to it in the reverse biased condition. Exceeding this voltage can destroy the diode.

What is the PIV rating of diode?
A diode will provide saturating current if it reaches its Piv. What it should be well at least 1.5 of the applied reverse voltage. For AC at least 2 times to insure that the peak REVERSE voltage is blocked
