MV: Difference between revisions

InOn additiontop toof the concerns from [[LV]] machinery, the addition of MV power means keeping higher voltage lines away from your low voltage cables and machines. Giving machines a higher voltage than they are rated for will make them explode. Putting MV power on a LV cable/wire will make it burn up, catch fire and potentially explode adjacent machines. To avoid a catastrophic failure by accidental over-voltage, separate LV and MV machinery rooms, use different cable sizes, and/or paint your cables.

Providing a lower voltage than a machine is rated for is safe. It may not be able to run all its recipes if it cannot be fed power fast enough, but there is no danger of fire or explosion. Many MV machine recipes can be run directly off LV power infrastructure with no issues, as they have very low EU/t requirements.
