Default Re: Rectifier Voltage

All my calculations are from the 720 rule and the results from Fibergeeks tests where he compared CD's, material types and other parameters. He measured the coating thicknesses with a current eddy meter to help verify his results.

If you plan on going to 12ASF, which is the highest with a 1:3 acid ratio, then I would try to go to a 40V supply. The calculation for peak voltage is CD x 2.5 . This is effected by several parameters and with an accurate SA will vary +-5V and I would add a extra 5V for possible miscalculation of SA.
