They'd better be mA. :)  You wouldn't have any water in the container
if it were Amps.  

But, why the KCl?  That would speed up the process so you'd need about
10 minutes, total, for producing CS (along with AgCl).  Most people
would say you shouldn't put anything into the container but distilled
water and silver electrodes (then, running the process for 30 minutes
should produce about 8 ppm).

I haven't tried the ppm calculator, so I can't say what's going wrong
(the current of 10 mA seems about right for 27 volts after 10
minutes).
