2kw load overloading the conductive wire

if i put a battery switch box between the turbines and the power transformers the overload disappaers.

those 3 generators have a potential load of 2.550 Kw wich is more than the 2 Kw the cable can handle

what/which generators? u can see on the first picture only 2kw load in the wire not more or less... And the power generating dont put load on the cables...

The first picture seems odd though, it shows the turbines in positions as if they're running, but the bar is empty, so wondering if it's basically right after loading, before unpausing. I've had my game show red wires too where it's not supposed to, but it would always go away once i unpause.

now that you mention it its true, the tooltip only shows the consumption of the network, did you try using a heavy watt wire to check if the tooltip displays a different value?

i think that happens when the steam turbine is overheated, it shows different values including empty until its cooled and can run continuosly for 1-2 seconds

I tried letting one of my turbines overheat to see, it doesn't just drop down to an empty bar from it, even walling it in with insulated tiles, it's still showing a short red bar, and doing that, it goes 200W->300W->Idle constantly.

For the bar to be completely empty, i think the turbine would need to be unable to cool below it, so a complete halt, which means there'd be no power for the wires to overload them.

as u can see the wire broke from the load
