| − | The APC can be opened with a [[Crowbar]], once opened the switch must be set to the 'ON' state for it to function. A [[Battery Cell]] can be added to act as a power buffer for the subnetwork in the event the main power network gets disconnected. | + | The APC can be opened with a [[Crowbar]], once opened the switch must be set to the 'ON' state for it to function. A [[Battery Cell]] can be added to act as a power buffer for the subnetwork in the event the main power network gets disconnected. Currently, the dials in the APC do nothing. |

| − | The APC can generally be used for machines with varying power requirements such as the Auto lathe, Electronics Printer, Fabricator, Arc Furnace, and more. This will allow all these machines to take lots of power in short intervals as long as the APC has a battery. | + | The APC can generally be used for machines with varying power requirements such as the Auto lathe, Electronics Printer, Fabricator, Arc Furnace, and more. This will allow all these machines to take lots of power in short intervals as long as the APC has a battery. This is a similar object to the [[Transformer]] that only allows a specified amount of power through. |
If sufficient power is available upstream, the APC acts as a pass through and will not limit it's output power, it is recommended to use a [[Fuse|Cable Fuse]] or [[Transformer|Transformer (Small)]] when powering a non-heavy cable network to prevent overdraw. | If sufficient power is available upstream, the APC acts as a pass through and will not limit it's output power, it is recommended to use a [[Fuse|Cable Fuse]] or [[Transformer|Transformer (Small)]] when powering a non-heavy cable network to prevent overdraw. | ||
