Default Re: Rectitier

ill probably return that unit and get a CC unit.

Hmmm, not cold related?!? can it be the acid concentration is too low? I did the 3:1 ratio water to acid. Im using copper wire as my connections and am using 4 6000 series AL cathodes instead of the lead ones that came with the kit. Ill try to get some insulated copper wire as it is exposed. and ill solder the connections as well.

I have a Stainless Steel rack but after trying to plate 4 items, took out the other 3 and only tried to plate one. I initially used 20gauge AL wire and tried to connect with aligator clips directly to the wire holding the part. Then switched to Ti wire and tried it again but the amps would not rise much at all.
