    Power Supply,Is it working?

    Yea I know sounds silly,but me being a beginner and purchasing a PS off of CL and not knowing anything about it.So today is the second time I tried my hand at anodizing but the results are not that good.To me the layer of anodizing looks very thin or transparent.My problem is and may not be my only problem is my power supply.I cannot adjust the current,but when I adjust the voltage then the current will go up.For this project I am anodizing 6" disk that is about 1" thick so I believe I should have set the current to about 3-4 amps.As I have read you turn your volts up then you adjust the current,that does not work for me.I have to keep turning my volts up which I get around 15 volts then the current is about 2amps. If I turn the voltage up more then PS will trip out.I check all my connection,clean those area's but still current is still very low.Its a Hewett Packer 20v/20amps but it wouldn't even come close to maxing out the current.So if all connections are good that just leaves the PS as the problem? What else can I check to get the amps to respond?
