(the link for the steam turbines didn't go anywhere and i change it to the right one.)

Line 61:
The EBF requires a constant 120 EU/t to make aluminium or steel, not accounting for losses from transmission. It needs to be supplied with 4A of LV to reach MV energy tier. With the "Circuitry burnt out" maintenance issue, it will instead require 132 EU/t. Each Energy Hatch can accept a maximum of 2A, which is 64 EU/t. Thus two LV hatches are required for the basic Electric Blast Furnace, or three and 5A of LV power if it has a [[maintenance]] problem. Use as few cables as possible. More than two blocks of cabling will reduce each amp to 29 EU/t- 4 amps of that is only 116 EU/t, and the EBF won't run. 2x Tin Cable is the absolute minimum that should be used; copper cable has even worse energy loss.
 
[[Battery Buffer]]s are another option. Each buffer needs at least two batteries to provide 2A, which means a four slot or bigger buffer. Buffers are HIGHLY recommended for use with unbuffered [[Steam TurbinesTurbine]]s, due to their inconsistent nature. They are not necessary for [[Combustion Generator]]s or [[Gas Turbine]]s, but can be useful. Buffers can also help where the current power infrastructure is insufficient to run the EBF constantly.
