ELECTRO PLATING RECTIFIER

 

A very essential component for any industry, the electroplating rectifier is an electronic device which converts high voltage alternate current into low voltage direct current. The electroplating rectifiers are available in a range from 1 Volt to 1000 Volts suitable for various industrial applications such as electro-chemical processes like anodizing, hydrogenation and more. The notional range of these rectifiers covers a wide choice from 200 Amps to 15000 Amps at different output DC voltage as per requirement.
Electroplating is skilled technique accomplished through electro deposition process. The entire process involves producing an outside layer in a uniform manner on a surface of metal by the action of electric current. Each type of rectifiers is equipped with either single phase or three phase controlled devices classified as per their rating. Normally, the rectifiers with a capacity of 8V, 12V, 16V, 20Vand 24V are used in electroplating having current rating of 500 Amp and beyond.
The principal specifications of electroplating rectifiers are classified as Input voltage between 380-440 Volts. However, the output voltage is usually fixed rated maximum DC and the temperature rise is less than 45° C degree centigrade above ambient at 100% load results in higher efficiency and lesser losses.
The electroplating rectifiers are extensively used in the metal finishing industries that undertake the work of galvanizing, hydrogenation, anodizing, copper, tin and chrome plating, precious metal coating like gold, silver aluminum and all other electrochemical processes.
For different industrial applications, the range of rectifiers available with various specifications and functional varieties are known as full wave and half wave rectifier, Bridge Rectifier, DC Rectifier, Transformer Rectifier and Silicon Rectifier.
The salient features of electrical rectifiers include maximum output, space friendly and compact design, Power saver, maintenance free, efficient performance and long lasting.
