Default power supply

That is amazing that I am the only one who has 2 of these power supplies with the same "problem". I bought a second so I could use more than one tank at a time. As I mentioned in another posting that the second one is even more sensitive and it requires a "boost" from a resistor then I can remove it some times to keep the unit going in flash copper as well as in the nickel. I have been using them both quite a bit in the 10 amp range as well as down to 2 amps. up to 15amps on one part. I was getting a reading of 5.3 volts at 9.4 amps in the acid copper. 3.8 volts and 10.6 amps in flash copper (resistor removed after start up) . Not having much to compare to, I think it is plating ok? I can live with the tolerances on the read out. I am just still wondering about the start up. I am also not sure what the increased voltage will do to the plating results? Any idea?
The power supplies work great after start up. So the range would be start up. I would be more than happy to explain my set up. Where should I start?
