How to power a macerator?

[SWGCryand123]

Hello. I'm having some problems powering my macerator. I have normal solar panels (Not Low Voltage, the tier below it) and I can't figure out how to power the macerator.

Do you put the fibre cables below, to the side, the top, what? Any tips would be awesome!

Thanks!

You need to run the solar panels into a battbox, MFE, or MFSU. Then you run cables to the machine. If you are going to set up a factory type auto loading/unloading system for the macerator, then you want the top and side open for pipes. I run power into the back of the machines, but that's just preference. Some people run them underneath because they like to hide the wiring. Good luck.

Edited to add: If you use and MFE or MFSU then make sure you put Transformer upgrades in the machines, or you can use transformers. Otherwise, boom.

Wow, okay! Being the noob I am, didn't even think of the batbox. I just tried it, and it's working perfectly. Thank you very much!

You're welcome!

One solar panel even with a batbox isn't enough power for a macerator. Hook up a few more solar panels or another type of generator for sufficient power.

@MaggotKing, I have done that. I was doing this on my test world, testing it for a multiplayer server. Thank you anyway.
