Need help with power connection


Recommended Posts

This is probably something that has been revisited many times, but I'm having some problems trying power all devices from only a single source without having my base filled with wires.

Ive tried using a battery + transformer to break the 1000 watt limit on wires but its seems the games too smart for me by adding the power usage of the transformer itself with the connecting wire link.

As can be seen the wire seem to be detecting the exact power usage from the other side of the transformer, overloading the 1st line circuit.

Need some help: maybe this concept just doesnt/and will never work, or perhaps there is a better solution other than having multiple power generating sources.

Your power plant (all your gen sources) needs to be wired by heavy-watt wire or heavi conductive wire. Then this wire is connected to the input of the transformer, and to each other transformer input.

Then, the output of the transfo is wired by light or conductive wire (depending usually on transformer size) to consumers.

That's the "normal" way of using that.

Heavy wire then will handle the combination of all of your transformers needs. So it should go far over 1kw, that's why they do support up to 20kw and have a very slight tolerance against very succinct peak over this limit.
