Re: How do I calculate the voltage needed to plate with zinc?
OK, I decided to return the crappy Arbe Pro-Plater CV rectifier and buy a laboratory grade Lambda unit. See attached image. It's supports both CV & CC and has some decent meters.
"THIS POWER SUPPLY PROVIDES A SINGLE, 0 - 10 VOLTS @ 0 - 10 AMPS OUTPUT WITH VARIABLE COURSE AND FINE CONTROL KNOBS FOR VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT, AND A CONTROL KNOB FOR CURRENT ADJUSTMENTS. THE DC SUPPLY PROVIDES, 0 - 10 VOLTS @ 0 - 10 AMPS, CONSTANT VOLTAGE AND / OR CONSTANT CURRENT (C/V, C/C). THIS IS TRULY A LABORATORY GRADE, DC PLATING POWER SUPPLY WITH HUM AND NOISE SPECIFICATIONS MEASURED IN MILLIVOLTS AND SUPPLY REGULATION ACCURATE TO +/- .01%.
This should make things much easier and provide more consistent results. Thanks for all the help Sean.
