andy2020 Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'm wondering if it is feasible to power two or more quarries from one MV solar array being split to two MFSU units through 3x insulated HV cables and then having an energy link placed between the quarry and MFSU (MV array -> 3x HV -> MFSU -> Energy Link -> Quarry) How many quarries could this setup power? If I do my math right the energy link would turn the 64 EU/t output into about 57 MJ. Since a quarry needs 18 it seems like I could power 3 quarries, but I'm still learning tekkit so I want to see if there is anything I am missing. Thanks.

DanielJin Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It should work fine, but shouldn't need any HV cables, glass fibre should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaStyle Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 energy links suck power like a fat kid getting the last of his coke out of his bottle. It'll suck like 78 EU I think it is & won't even care. Be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe5 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 yes, however both of them will run at below full capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmegaJasam Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I thought it was 10MJ per quarry (two combustion engines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaStyle Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yeah that's per quarry I'm talking about how much power the Energy Link takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaJasam Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yeah that's per quarry I'm talking about how much power the Energy Link takes. If I recall right, when connected to a pipe, it will take as much as it takes to fill the pipe with energy. Generaly, it will take the max packet size. When connected directly to a machine it takes only the amount needed for the machine, but you get a stuttery operation. Not used them myself, so I can't varify, I would recomend testing yourself.

NinjaStyle Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Well when I had it hooked up to an MFSU all I had was 1 glass fibre cable separating the MFSU & Energy Link then a conductive teleport pipe & that went to 1 quarry at normal size. The MFSU barely kept up but I did have 5 getting power & it was the fifth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
