Most of our plating is O D on large rings ... but recently a job was set up
for I D.
The O D rings are about 20" and we have 12 anodes in the tank. Plating is
done at 1900 amps
The I D rings are the same size but we only use one 3" anode in the center
of the rings

The supervisor claims they did this job before and never had a problem
getting 1900 amps but the most I can get is 1100 amps at 20 volts max for
rectifier
I believe it's my lack of surface area but he says " We never had a problem
before "

I checked the unit with an OD dummy load and have no problem getting 3000
amps so I know the units capable of supplying the current

Sounds like thats all the surface area of the anode can handle. But
then I dont know dick about plating.

"I mean, when's the last time you heard of a college where the Young
Republicans staged a "Sit In" to close down the Humanities building?
On the flip side, how many sit in's were staged to close the ROTC building back in the '60's?
Liberals stage protests, do civil disobedience, etc.
Conservatives talk politely and try to work out a solution to problems
through discourse until they believe that talking won't work... they they go home and open the gun cabinets.
Pray things never get to the point where the conservatives decide that
"civil disobedience" is the next step, because that's a very short route to "voting from the rooftops"
