  • Power Supply Requirements

    I have the 4 gallon triple chrome plating kit.
    I'm also thinking about ordering the 5 gallon anodizing kit too.
    What are the voltage and amperage requirements to do both?
    How much voltage will I need, 0-8 volts or 0-20 volts?
    How much amperage would I need if I wanted to chrome the largest thing I can plate with this kit?

    I have a Sorensen DCR 20-50B now but that may not be enough amperage to plate larger pieces with chrome.

    Would an 8 volt 125 amp be big enough?
    Would a 20 volt 250 amp be better?

    What's the average voltage for plating chrome?
    What's the average voltage for anodizing aluminum?

    Thanks

    for chrome you will need a power supplies that will do 1 amp per square inch of surface area, i dont have any idea about anodizing but plating is amps needed not volts overall.
