The single most common maximum rectifier voltage is probably 12 volts, although 9 and 18 are not unusual, and 6 and 24 are not rare. There is a lot more to it than the voltage though :-)

Start with the Metal Finishing Guidebook and the Electroplating Engineering Handbook [on AbeBooks or eBay or Amazon] . Good luck.
