Trem and all, When one polarity switches every 30 to 45 seconds or so, using a constant current, by about what factor does the the rate of production decrease? I believe during the transition period CS production stops or at least slows down until a new steady state condition is reached. Do you see 10% or so reduction in rate of production? Or, does it take longer for your generator to switch off when the voltage across the electrodes reaches the selected value?
