Hopefully, screenshots will help.
What you see, from left to right, is a Hybrid solar (just used it so power was going through the system), an MFE, LV transformer, then an industrial centrifuge.
The MFE outputs power at 128 EU/t, the LV transformer takes that 128 EU then splits it into 32 EU, which the centrifuge can use.
Also take not of the direction of the LV transformer. It has 1 side with 3 dots and 5 sides with 1 dot. The higher EU always goes into the 3 dot side and the lower EU comes out of the 1 dot sides.
The only reason the Centrifuge is blowing up is because of the EU going into it, so check everything is wired up properly.
Also, if you want me to put different wires there for a more typical early game setup, then I can. I just used Glass fibre to show the direction of the LV transformer more clearly.
