In part 1 of this 4 part short video series, we will help you understand the complicated process of copper bussing your chrome tank properly. General rule : The diameter of the copper should be 1 sq in for each 1,000 amps carried. If the rectifier is more than 20 ft from the plating tank you may need thicker copper.

This technology greatly reduces the risks associated with hexavalent chromium-both from a safety and environmental perspective. Better for your employees, better for the environment, and better for your bottom line.
