Power Supplies / Rectifiers

A DC power source is essential for operating any plating or anodizing process.

While some customers may use a 6 or 12-volt battery or charger along with bulbs for current control, this article highlights more efficient methods to meet your plating power requirements.

Dedicated rectifiers, specifically designed for plating, offer the advantage of achieving precise tolerances and controls, making them far more convenient than alternative methods using bulbs.

Electroplating Power Supply

How many volts do I need for plating copper, nickel, or zinc?

Typically, electroplating copper or similar metals requires less than 6V in a tank plating setup. If more than 6V is needed, it may indicate that additional electrolytes are necessary or that the electrodes are too far apart. Conversely, brush plating may require higher voltage, sometimes up to 20V.

What plating power supplies does Volteq offer?
