Common faults and solutions of electroplating power supply
What is an electroplating power supply? Electroplating power supply is a device that converts alternating current into direct current, used to provide stable current and voltage for the electroplating process. There are many types of electroplating power sources, such as transformer rectifiers, silicon controlled rectifiers, inverters, etc.
What are the main parameters of electroplating power supply? The main parameters of electroplating power supply include output voltage, output current, output power, output waveform, output stability, efficiency, etc. Different electroplating processes have different requirements for electroplating power sources. For example, bright chrome plating requires high-frequency and low fluctuation DC, while hard chrome plating requires low-frequency and high fluctuation DC.
How to choose an electroplating power source? When choosing an electroplating power supply, the following aspects should be considered: (1) the requirements of the electroplating process, such as the required output waveform, stability, efficiency, etc; (2) The size of the electroplating tank, such as tank size, tank liquid capacity, anode area, etc; (3) The quality of the product, such as surface smoothness, layer thickness uniformity, adhesion, etc; (4) Economy, such as cost, energy consumption, maintenance, etc.
What are the common faults of electroplating power supply? How to handle it? The common faults of electroplating power supply include: (1) no voltage or current output, which may be caused by fuse burning, switch failure, rectifier bridge damage, etc. The corresponding components should be inspected and replaced; (2) Output overvoltage or overcurrent may be caused by load short circuit, regulator failure, abnormal feedback circuit, etc., and corresponding parts should be checked and repaired; (3) Large or unstable output fluctuations may be caused by filter aging, poor control circuit, large load changes, etc. Corresponding parameters should be checked and adjusted; (4) Abnormal noise or odor may be caused by fan failure, overheating of components, short circuit of circuits, etc. It should be stopped and checked in a timely manner.
