A plating rectifier converts AC input into a controlled DC supply for an electroplating process. The bath chemistry, part geometry and required current density help determine the current and voltage your setup needs. Programmable controls allow you to define electrical settings and timing for a run.

It measures accumulated electrical charge: one amp maintained for one hour equals one amp-hour. This can help you track a run and follow a bath supplier’s amp-hour-based maintenance guidance. It does not directly measure coating thickness or prove metal savings. Current efficiency, plated area, chemistry and other factors still matter.

Calculate current from the total plated surface area and the current density specified by your chemistry supplier. Then confirm required voltage, minimum current, operating duration and suitable margin. Consider IPS for lower-current requirements, and evaluate Digital Precision when your process needs more capacity. The shared Digital Precision listing explicitly specifies 80A at 18V; ask Pepetools for separate 60A voltage and operating specifications.

Sequence mode lets you arrange up to five stored programs in order and reuse a program in more than one step. Each program can have its own voltage, current limit, plating time, reverse time and end-of-program delay. That supports staged electrical settings for copper via-fill development and other multi-stage plating processes. Use a sequence qualified for your chemistry, via geometry and agitation; sequencing alone does not guarantee filling performance or establish high-frequency pulse capability.

The supply has separate maxima of 80A and 18V, with a total output-power ceiling of 950W. Power equals voltage × current, so 80A at 18V would exceed that ceiling. At 80A, the power limit corresponds to about 11.9V; at 18V, it corresponds to about 52.8A. These are calculated power-limit boundaries, not additional performance guarantees. Match the actual voltage and current your bath needs to all three ratings.

Yes, when its electrical range matches your electroforming bath and workpiece. Manual mode can run continuously without a programmed time limit, making it useful for extended copper electroforming runs. The 9h 59m setting applies to the plating time within an individual program. Up to five stored programs can also run in sequence for processes that need staged settings. For the 80A model, check the 18V maximum, the 950W total power limit and the specified 0.35–80A operating range against your process.

Sequence mode runs complete stored programs in a selected order. The manual documents timed polarity reversal and 1-second timing adjustments; it does not specify a high-frequency pulse waveform. If a copper via-fill or other process requires millisecond pulses, a particular frequency or pulse width, verify those requirements with Pepetools before selecting the supply.

Do not assume compatibility from the current rating. Some anodizing and electrocoating processes need voltages beyond the 80A model’s published 18V rating. Provide your chemistry supplier’s complete electrical requirements so the correct equipment can be identified.

The Digital Precision listing includes the rectifier, power cord, instructions and heavy-duty alligator-clip leads. Tanks, chemistry, anodes, part fixtures, preparation equipment, and any heating, agitation or ventilation must be selected for your process. A rectifier is one component of a complete setup.

The manual specifies automatic 110/220V input selection at 50/60Hz, with input ranges of 105–132V or 200–248V. Confirm the circuit requirements, plug or cord arrangement and destination-specific documentation with Pepetools.
