From lights to doors to fabricators to computers, just about everything on the station needs electricity to run. The power grid is the entire system of infrastructure that generates, stores, and directs electrical power to the devices that need it to operate. This page serves as an overview of all of the essential infrastructure of the power grid. More specific details on the operation of specific engine types may be found in their own respective pages.
Wires
Power wires are routed through maintenance tunnels and under floor tiles in order to connect the generators to SMES units, and the SMES units to APCs. Breaks in the wire grid may cause certain equipment to not receive power, causing partial blackouts. A few select objects (such as meteor shields) may also be wrenched onto a wire in order to draw power directly from the wire, bypassing the APC or internal battery cell.
APC
APC Short for Area Power Controller, APCs are small grey electrical panels that handle the power draw of one room.
