I'll keep it short as to what the problem is; we have 2 "power systems", one MFE and oe Batbox: the Electrolyzer works fine with the Batbox (32eu), but doesn't get enough power, which is obvious. The Electrolyzer however disappears (Or explodes, we have Explosions disabled) when connected to the gold cables from the MFE.

Why does it disappear? Is this is a bug?

The MFE now outputs 512 EU I believe the Electrolyzer is a 32 or 128 EU machine either way you need to either install a transformer upgrade into it or use a step down converter

I should also add that we have a Thermal Centrifuge on gold cable power line, which takes the same as the Industrial Electrolyzer (128 EU/t), and it works just fine without disappearing.

Tried out the CESU thing and it seems to work, so I guess the problem is solved.

The reason the Thermal centrifuge doesn't blow up is IC2 exp has explosions turned off until they get the new power system perfected. You can't even measure EU atm to tell how much is there. The electrolyzer is a GT machine and the explosions are turned on(the explosion causes no surrounding damage with your settings in GT, but the machine still blows up). Just remeber, new IC2 doesn't use packets. EU output works in series instead of parrallel now. 10 generators put out 100 EU/t. You have to add the total of all your power inputs to determine how much EU will be in the line. You have to pay attention to the cable specs. There are also 4 tiers of energy storage instead of 3. The CESU is comparable to the old MFE. MFE now is like old MFSU. MFSU now outputs 2048.

So we have the CESU running, and it seemed to all go perfectly smooth, until suddenly the machine got "Insufficient power" and later exploded/disappeared.
What's going on here?

An electrolyzer needs the full 128 to run. The insufficient energy comes up when it can't get packets the size it needs. New IC2 doesn't use packets anymore. It might need it's own dedicated CESU to not run out of power. It should never explode from that. Make sure the machine is covered from rain as well. GT machines catch fire in the rain. Other than that, my only guess could be that the new IC2 energy network is not interacting with GT properly. I'd check over on the IC2/GT forums and see if GT is compatible with the IC2 experimental. Maybe others have had the same issue.
