| + | == Usage == | ||
| + | |||
| + | As a battery's power throughput is only limited by the power demanded and supplied, it can take any amount of power and supply any amount of power. This means that it can exceed the ratings of even heavy cables. Due to their unlimited throughput, connecting a battery's output to another battery's input will act like a short circuit. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Additionally it is advised to follow these rules: | ||
| + | # Never shortcut any battery - no loops! | ||
| + | # To build a cascade of batteries (e.g. a stationary battery near solar panels and an APC at base power input), separate networks with transformers. | ||
| + | # Prefer a tree-like (or star-like) scheme of power supply over chain (cascades). It is better to have a battery on each of separate subnets (ex. production floor and gas processing floor), even if you will not use its full potential. | ||
| + | # Always separate electrical networks with power generation (solid generators, solar panels, etc.) and power consumers. Do it with batteries and APCs. Rule of a thumb: input - generators only, output - consumers only. | ||
| + | # Never connect a solid fuel generator to a battery using standard cables - only use heavy cables. A battery will make a generator produce full power - 20 000 W which is 4 times greater of that standard wire can pass through. | ||
| + | # When making major changes of a power network (especially a very spread one), always take out batteries from APCs or just cut the cables connecting the batteries with that network (input and output) - it can save a lot of cables from burning. | ||
