if your macerator didn't have anything in it to macerate then it is kindly not burning power for no reason. if it did have something to macerate then you have a break in your cable so it can't get power. If it exploded you didn't setup your transformers/upgrades correctly. if that's not it then make sure you're cable is connected to the ouput side of the mfsu. if it's none of those then make sure you aren't supplying a redstone signal to any of your transformers which will cause them to run backwards and output power to their high voltage side. otherwise make sure you're MFSU has power stored in it, it does not generate power, only stores it.

as far as faster, regardless of how much power is input an MFSU can only output at 512 eu/t so if you are generating more than that (multiple HV arrays for example) then your mass fabricator will run faster without the mfsu.
