Copper bussing is crucial in chrome plating applications due to several reasons related to its role in the electroplating process: Don’t forget to visit our rectifier page.

1. Conductivity:

• High Electrical Conductivity: Copper has excellent electrical conductivity, which is essential for uniformly distributing the electrical current across the surface of the part being plated. This ensures consistent deposition of the chromium layer.

• Reduced Voltage Drop: Copper’s low resistance minimizes voltage drops, allowing for efficient energy use and more precise control over the plating process.

2. Uniform Current Distribution:

• Even Plating: Proper bussing ensures that the electrical current is distributed evenly across all parts of the surface. This is critical for achieving a uniform chrome layer, avoiding thin spots or uneven coating that could lead to defects in the finished product.

3. Durability:

• Mechanical Strength: Copper bussing is robust and can handle the mechanical stresses of the plating process, including the weight of the parts and the force required to maintain good electrical contact.

• Corrosion Resistance: Copper is relatively resistant to corrosion in the environment of the plating bath, which helps maintain consistent performance over time.

4. Heat Management:

• Efficient Heat Dissipation: During the plating process, heat is generated due to the flow of current. Copper’s excellent thermal conductivity helps dissipate this heat, preventing overheating and potential damage to both the equipment and the workpiece.

5. Cost-Effectiveness:

• Material Availability and Cost: Copper is relatively cost-effective compared to other highly conductive materials like silver or gold, making it a practical choice for large-scale industrial applications.

In summary, copper bussing is essential for ensuring a reliable, efficient, and high-quality chrome plating process. Its electrical and thermal properties, along with its durability, make it the preferred choice for this application.

Good things come in small packages; that’s why our FlexKraft rectifiers give you the most bang-for-buck. FlexKraft is the best choice if you want to lower your costs without sacrificing efficiency. The compact units are serviced from the front, which saves a lot of time and keeps any potential down-time to a minimum. They can be place side- by-side or stacked making them optimal for spacing. Above all, they are easy to install and maintain.

Each rectifier has up to ten modules and two or more stacks can be connected to allow higher currents (24 kA) and voltages (120 V DC). Thanks to the modular design you only pay for the power you need. Should you need more power later on - simply add more modules.

Other great benefits of the FlexKraft design:

• Tough, robust, and reliable - very durable for use in harsh conditions of plating shops

• Protected from short circuits and excessive temperatures

• Very Low-Ripple

• Efficiency above 90%

• At any given load, power factor is +93%

• Designed for 24 hour operation at maximum load (40 degrees)

• Available in single or dual output; plating power up to 24,000 Amps

• Can run on reduced power if a fault occurs in a module

• Independent settings for currents and voltage
