Doing zinc plating. I've had a 3amp digital jobber for awhile, similar to the one Cas sells. I moved up to a similar unit only it puts out up to 10a. Problem is even though the manual says it does CC or PC mode, if I hook it up and try and plate, it will not let me adjust current flow. It just stays at .04 a. If I unhook the load, put the negative lead in the plating solution and then reconnect the load I can plate the lead just fine; lead bubles like crazy and the amps move up on the meter. Connect the lead back to the part and then reconnect, nothing.
If I hook it back up to my old 3a supply, it works fine and I can adjust output current as usual. What gives? The supply is one of those Mastech 10a units like this one: http://www.multimeterwarehouse.com/hy3010Df.htm
The old unit I had, that worked fine, was this:
