![]() ![]() The internal battery is limited to a recharge rate of 1 kW (or 200 J per game tick) and acts as a regular battery.A power transformer will produce heat as long as it contains some energy, irrespective of the power input/output.Two transformers drawing from a high wattage input can be paired to fully provide for a Conductive Wire grid safe from overloading.Automation can be used to interrupt power flow in the same way as Switches and Power Shutoffs.In which case, the internal battery will rapidly drain. Transformers will operate without any power cost or charge loss unless disabled by automation or disconnected from an output circuit.This would protect the lower circuit from overload while still providing to the main power circuit and benefitting from the advantages of using low wattage cables. A transformer can resist damage when power draw crosses above 1 kW, but a battery can cross that limit and overload a circuit.Īlternatively, transformers can be used to draw power from a low wattage circuit attached to multiple power producers and output into a higher wattage circuit. In this scenario, batteries on the output side of the transformers would be avoided, as batteries have no limit to output rate. Multiple transformers can then be attached to supply power consumers attached to a lower wattage cable able to cross tiles. Typically, generators and Batteries will be attached on a Heavi-Watt Wire grid, giving them a 20 kW capacity (allowing up to 33 Coal Generators). ![]()
