Q the Platypus Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Can someone explain to me what happens when you have a circuit powered by two transformers drawing power from diffrent sources. It seems that only one transformer powers the circuit. Also having a generator on the low side of the transformer seems to have strange effects as well.

Neotuck Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 no different then when you have 2 generators on one circuit, the wattage they produce is added together example 1 small transformers on one circuit can provide 1000W 2 small transformers on one circuit can provide 2000W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenIsAGeek Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 You can use this to limit power on particular lines. For example, previous players have asked how to guarantee that they do not burn out lines. One way to do this is to use small transformers with no batteries or producers on the 'low power' side. On a normal wire, one small transformer has a limit of 1kw, so you can't burn it out, even if you have 2kw of consumers -- some just won't work if too many are trying to run at once. On a conductive wire, you can use two small transformers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
