Which power supply unit is required?
To calculate the required amperage, multiply the recommended current density for the respective electrolyte by the surface area of the workpiece in dm². The voltage adjusts automatically as soon as you have set the amperage accordingly.
In this table you can see the power required.
| Electrolyte | Power supply unit output | ||
| 3A* | 5A* | 10A* | |
| Chromium | 0,8 | 1,3 | 2,5 |
| Copper acidic | 5 | 8,5 | 17 |
| Copper alkaline | 15 | 25 | 50 |
| Nickel | 10 | 17 | 34 |
| Zinc | 12 | 20 | 40 |
| Zinc-nickel | 3,3 | 5,5 | 11 |
