Which is the correct reading?

jaja · Apr 6th 2015

I'm not sure if this is an IC2 bug or a Power Converters bug. (Frankly IC2 is becoming more of a pain and I might ditch it soon or isolate it from other mods).

I have a CESU hooked up to 5 copper wires and an ic2 consumer. I am converting to RF to power a quarry. I checked the eu/t going into the ic2 consumer and its between 50 - 70 eu/t (way less than the expected value). The energy bridge also says that there is only 10 eu/t going into the consumer. Which is the correct reading and why are they different? Could someone also please explain the idea behind eu and eu/t fully (the system seems to have changed and isn't as simple anymore). The wikis are clearly not being updated as frequently any more.

EDIT: Also noticed I'm getting 20 RF output. And based on the conversion rates even 10 EU/t should be giving me 40 RF right?

that is weird indeed. but weren't there different tiers of ic2 consumers/producers once? might be gone with all the nonexisting voltage issues. anyway, you should be getting 128eu/t from a cesu. is its buffer full/does it get filled enough?

Yes the buffer on the bridge is filled (and is being depleted). I have solar panels connected to my CESU which supplies enough eu so that I am generating more than I need.

Hmm IC2's reading may be incorrect if energy was rejected partially, which needs more work to be precise. An easy way to get an accurate number would be this:

The eu reader output value measured at cesu b should be correct if cesu a is full or empty and the measurement time is sufficiently long.
