Wire-Overloading: Can a normal pump only take 1000W even when connected over Heavy Wire?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Wire-Overloading is hard for me to grasp. In my built-up (which is far from perfect - I am still learning), I keep getting overloads. I switched to heavy wires but I still get them. In my current system, I am trying myself at a natural gas powerplant. Everything within the powerplant is connected over heavy wires. Still I get overloads in the connection between my two power plants and a pump. Could you help me to understand my situation better?

Attached are pictures of the "factory", with the damaged pump selected. The wire informationĀ tell me that the network is about 1,2 KW, with a maximum of 20KW, so that should be pretty ok. I tried to get into more detail and checked the energy tab of the pump. It states that the maximum safe wattage is 1000W. Does that mean, that the pump cannot be connected to a network over 1000W (which basically would mean a lot of converter stations).

Thank you guys,
