Default To Many Amps
If what you are plating takes a certain amp and you go over that, what happens. Im having alot of trouble with the power source for Nickel and Copper plating. All the small 6 volt bulbs that I have found are not rated in amp draw and the Salesperson has no Idea what im talking about...LOL
Thanks again!

Default Re: To Many Amps
To calculate the amps draw of a particular light bulb divide the bulb wattage by the volts
eg:21w bulb divided by 6 volts=3.5amps
7w bulb divided by 6 volts=1.166amps

Hope this helps

Barry
