It only accepts low voltage(32eu/packet) or the max packet size cooper cable can hold.

Edit: Because you type more words than me :)

I keep trying to power it with a lot of different methods and it keeps exploding

The centrifuge can only accept low voltage (LV). One thing you can do is to place an LV transformer next to the centrifuge, and have the cable go into the side, of the transformer, with the dot on it.

EDIT: Why do I take so long time to type.

Still blows up did I miss a step

Can you post a screenshot? Also if the transformer blows up you should have an MV transformer. Place the MV transformer on the side of the lv transformer' side wit the dot. For the MV transformer the cable goes into the 3 dots.

I cant really post a screenshot when it keeps blowing up and I have tried several different ways.. Could you post a screen shot up of how to set it up please

For the transformer, the 3 dots is the MV input and the 1 dot sides are the LV output.

What cable are you using to power the industrial centrifuge?
If cooper cables blows up your machine, I don't know what else is causing it.

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.

Hey it is working but now the problem I have is it spins with lazerite and empty cells in it but nothing happens the arrows fill up then nothing...nothing is made

It takes 2950 seconds to process Lazurite Dust, which is about 50 minutes. So go off and do other things whilst you wait.

I will say though, as I assume you are making silicon cells, that you can centrifuge half a stack of sand for 1 and that takes 500 seconds, or 4 clay dust/6 flint dust for 1 cell and it only takes 50 seconds.

Where do you find how long it takes to convert something
