Power Supplies

Jane Kits offer several different power supplies for use with our plating kits and supplies. All our complete Electroplating Kits include a power supply. Our 4, 10, 20 and 30 litre Electroplating Kits include the 15 amp power supply unit and connecting leads. The Electroplating Kits can be purchased with the standard 15 Amp or optional 5 Amp Power Supply for the same price. You can also choose an option to upgrade the Electroplating Kit to include the 40 Amp Power Supply at an additional price.

The output or current relative to electroplating is referred to as ampere. The amount of ampere or amps required to plate an item is relative to the square centimetres of the item or items you wish to plate. Below is an approximate output required:

Zinc and Copper electroplating: 1 amp will plate approx 160 cm2
Nickel electroplating: 1 amp will plate approx 80 cm2

If you wish to purchase any of the power supplies listed separately from the Electoplating Kits, please note you will need to add the connecting leads which are available on our website in the Plating Supplies section. (this does not apply to the 5 Amp Power Supply which comes complete with the leads). All the complete Electroplating Kits will include the relevant power supply leads.

2.5 Amp Power Supply

This compact adjustable power supply is designed for our Gold Plating Kits. It has six variable output settings and when paired with our gold plating power supply leads will allow you to set the output from 250 milliamps to 1.2 ampere. Only a very small current is needed for gold plating. This unit is designed for fine electroplating work only. If you require complete control, it is advised to upgrade to the 5 Amp power supply which is ideal for Gold Plating, Electroforming and smaller size Electroplating Kits.

The maximum current output is 2.5 ampere continuous.

5 Amp Power Supply

This slimline 5 Amp power supply provides up to 80W of power, still plenty of grunt for many smaller Electroplating Kits. It is an ideal power supply for 4 or 10 Litre size Electroplating baths. It is also ideal for Electroforming and Gold Plating. It provides constant current and constant voltage options. This allows total control of critical ampere delivery which is not a feature of some of our other power supplies. Simply select your power range, then adjust the controls to obtain your desired outputs. It has a variable output and current from 0 to 5A.

The maximum current output is 5 ampere continuous.

15 Amp Power Supply

This is a switch mode laboratory type power supply. Its compact size, lightweight, high current, high efficiency, variable output and fan cooling make this the ideal power supply for your bench. They are protected against thermal overload and short circuit and will display a warning LED in the event of a fault condition. The current and voltage are displayed on separate backlit analogue meters.

The maximum current output is 18 ampere, 15 ampere continuous.

25 Amp Power Supply

This is a switch mode laboratory type power supply. Its compact size, lightweight, high current, high efficiency, variable output and fan cooling make this the ideal power supply for your bench. They are protected against thermal overload and short circuit and will display a warning LED in the event of a fault condition. The current and voltage are displayed on separate backlit analogue meters.

The maximum current output is 30 ampere, 25 ampere continuous.

40 Amp Power Supply

This high powered dual controlled switchmode power supply will deliver up to 40 amps. This allows total control of critical ampere delivery which is not a feature of our other power supplies. It has a variable output voltage from 1 to 15VDC and variable current from 0 to 40A. Output voltage and current are displayed on large, easily read seven segment LED displays and incorporates an intelligent fan control program that checks the fan at power on and adapts the right speed to ensure a quiet and efficient operation.

The maximum current output is 40 ampere continuous.

Larger power supplies are available upon request. POA
