Advance Wiring

Cable Splitting / Branching

Branching a cable is like Branching a river's power. The more you branch, the less each end get the power (EU/f).

You can only split to TWO cable at a time, and if you want to split up to three or more, you need to split it as a branch of a branch.

In most case (No relay), the total energy in the system will be conserved.

Power IS NOT Energy. Think of it like Power is the muscle strength, and energy is the sugar.

This is what happen to the power inside a branched cable: [1]

The power distribution is still valid EVEN IF one of the branch is empty branch (no machine, no MFE or MFSU, just one block cable extended).

But do not worry, in the case of empty branch , the only thing happen to the energy is simply slowing down the energy transfer rate by half, no energy loss, just slower.

Machines wiring

To wire a row of machines to an output, the split distribution rule is still valid. Each machine attached to the cable will be considered as a split/branch. Eventhough the machine is off, a branch is still a branch. The next machine will only get half of the power that the previous machine get even though no machine is on. [2]

Multiple Output Cable Switch/Selection

Let's say that you have 4 different direction you want to direct your power to, but you want to allow one or two direction at a time to get the maximum power you can give with minimum split, there is one easy trick: sticky pistons. [3]

The idea of using sticky pistons is to transform a power connection from a branched cable to non-branched cable.

Using Switch cable can be useful however, the power branch might reduce the power so low that you cannot work with it anymore,

because branched connection with switch cable still count as branched cable EVEN IF there is no connection.

A non-pulsing High Voltage connection

ATTENTION: High Voltage cabling is highly dangerous. Once the system is setup, touching a live wire is essentially an instant death.

This information focuses on the huge energy transfer with HV-transformers as repeaters , zero energy loss for Mass Fabricator ONLY.

In order to achieve a constant 2000 EU/f power transfer, there is only 1 simple requirement: 2000 EU/f Low/Medium Voltage TOTAL input to the FIRST HV transformer.

Experiments have been done regarding adding powers into subsequent HV transformers, and the results show that the total output has an average 600-1000 EU/f instead of 2000 EU/f as inputted into the system.
