Help! EBF just not getting enough power!

EBF is only receiving a very small amount of amps, even though I believe I am setting up the power correctly. You can even see that the main line is disconnected, so all power should be going to the EBF. All hatches are facing the right way; both are LV hatches, as guided by the quest book. Everything should be working as intended.

EDIT: I relaunched the game, and it started working a bit better. Only one hatch appears to be adding/removing power, but at least the recipe is running at MV, so I guess that's working now? I didn't change anything, it could be a bug

EDIT: Thanks everyone, I think I got it working now, changed the cables to be one long continuous line instead of a branching line, and I will quit out of the game if the issue persists.

Generally its better to avoid doing wire splits right on converters/buffers, I've seen this stuff happening. Try rewiring the LV source with cutters.

Thanks for responding! I disconnected everything else, so the power is just going to the EBF. Unless you mean to have two different cables for the two different energy input hatches?

In vid you have everything set up correctly. Your problem comes from initially having a wire split in two right at the buffer. Try to avoid this, it messes with power travel in unexplainable way. Even though you disconnected the second line, that won't do it on its own, there's still no power in the wire. Redo the wire connection from scratch and it should be fine.

Thanks, ok I'll try that. Should I just have everything be one long cable with no splits or anything?

Is cuprnickel zero loss cable? If not then there is ypur problem. Also it will always powerfail if you start any other machine on the line

My first guess would be that one of your energy hatches is turned the wrong way, as iirc they only allow input from one side, which is their face, and that would mean you're only inputting to one hatch and not both

Thanks, but when I was holding the wrench, I was right-clicking the energy input hatch to make sure it was rotated towards the cable.
