You'll likely never need more than the 5-7 volt setting, as long as it allows you to set the appropriate current.

Sean;
Thanks for the reply.. And the Plating Information.. In reading about other folks problems with "Low Current Density Areas", I wasn't certain if the zinc plating on a larger part would be "thin" while the plating on a smaller part would burn..
I have my PS set on the 5-7 volt range.. In the little plating I've done so far (not Zinc), I "set" the amps to whatever is requred and the Volts read whatever the volts read ;-}.. generally about Two Volts (Five Amps for a 16.5 sq in Copper Tube in Nickel Plating Solution).
Thanks.. again.. You are a helluva contribution to the Caswell Forum!! (I've probably read all your posts.. and have learned a lot.)
