Default Re: Power supply calculater

Are you forgetting to calculate the surface area of both sides?

What shape is your part?

Are you referring to the "rectifier selection tool" on the web site? This is designed to help you choose a rectifier, not to select the correct power to use while plating.

Copy Chrome uses 0.07 amps/sq in. Some people also use 0.035 per square inch.

So your 12 sq in part would need 0.84 or 0.42 amps, depending on which method you use.
