Can't stop metal refinery from overloading electrical grid

[Glorious Magnificent Ducksu]

So I've done everything I can, even activating sandbox mode to test things out, having my setup go
Coal Generator > Heavi Watt Wire > 2 batteries >Heavi Watt> Large Power Transformer > Heavi Watt > Metal Refinery
and it still overloads (though it only overloads the last bit of wires connecting the transformer to the refinery. I've switched out wires, batteries, and all manner of configurations i've found online and there's still overload damage whenever I refine materials.

Gen ->transformer-> battery using any wire
Gen->large transformer-> battery using heavy wire

in the second example you can use normal wire after the battery, just make sure that it is heavy between the trans and battery

You've got to have more going on than that. Metal Refinery uses 1200W, if it's the only thing on the circuit you can use Conductive Wire for it and you don't need a transformer. You also need 2 600W Coal Generators to power it. There's no reason HWW should be overloading for just one Metal Refinery.

I think maybe Sandbox mode while testing setups might mess up the wires. Regardless of what I do, it always overloads. Even copying people's setups online seems to not work. Might have to actually do this manually

Nevermind, realized what was wrong. There was a single Wire I hadn't deconstructed still in the plug on the refinery so the heavi-watt was connecting to the small wire into the refinery.

The last bit of wire (the bit that breaks) has got to be normal wire. That is the only way this makes sense.

Ya, I realized that there was a normal wire still in the square where the plug was. Everything works fine now
