insutama Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 So I just upgraded my psu on my desktop pc and the old power supply that I took out of my pc is a HP ATX style 300watt psu. Im wondering would a 300w atx style psu be sufficient to use for a power supply for chlorate cell ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Depending on the output rating at 3.5 and 5 volts it should be a perfect supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memo Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 i use a 600 watt computer power supply, i use 2 of them if one fails i have the other one running so you dont loose a batch. i use all the red wires and all the black with the green wire withthe black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insutama Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 3.3 v is 12 amp5.08 is 13 ampWould that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memo Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 i think so the amps seem a little high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Consider your proposed annual use of oxidiser, consider how many amp hours will be needed to produce that much. It's expensive to buy the PSU for high currents but there are a lot of hours in a year ( 8760 ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion812 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 that amperage isnt too high at all depending on the electrode sizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion812 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 with mmo, you should be using a current density of around 250mA/cm2. The voltage should always be atleast 4v and at maximum 6v (no matter the electrode material or size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
