Talk:HV Cable/@comment-83.134.139.56-20120815200139

It seems like the Detector and Splitter cable are a better option for Extreme voltage transfer!

The wiki states that they can only handle packets up to 512EU/t

but I tested this, with some HV solar arrays, some MFSU's and a mass fabricator.

The mass fabricator was drawing a constant current of 20492EU/t. The HV cable did not burn, although the wiki states it can only handle 2048EU/t (perhaps they meant it can also handle larger packages; so this might be correct)

But the detector cable also didn't burn! If I connect a glass fibre cable, it burns instantly because it's maximum EU/t of 512 was exceeded. The detector cable with also maximum EU/t of 512 works perfectly.

So since the detector cable loses only 0.5EU/block and the 4xins HV cable 0.8EU/block, I'm now using detector cables everywhere on my extreme voltage lines ;)

Could someone else confirm this please? I did my test as acurate and correct as possible but maybe I still did something wrong. I'm pretty convinced though that the detector cables are working perfectly and never burn.
