Default [b]Epsco 3 AMP Rectifier and Copy Chrome[/b]

I purchased the 3 amp rectifier with the copy chrome kit. The documentation is very limited on this configuration. I am trying to determine the voltage setting on the rectifier for the calculated amperage needed for plating aluminum with copy chrome. The rectifier only has five settings for voltage. Do I need an ampmeter and rheostat with this rectifier? I understand that the lower the voltage the more current with a given power requirement (watts). How do I figure the power variable in the equation without light bulbs, etc...?

Amps = Watts/Volts

An ammeter would certainly help show you what the machine is putting out.

If you need further help, please post a problem report in PRS.
