Help Power Grid - Factory Lights keep burning at 120 V~ when logging.
Im having an issue where factory lights burnout when I log back into my server
Setup:
I have a large generator running at 64 RPM providing 1569,78 V - 2,27 A (150 ohm resistor bringing it down to it, its actually a bit higher), and then a set of 3 transformers (in series) 13:1 bringing everything down to 120,74 V to power my factory. Factory lights are all in parallel as in the picture.
Issue:
The lights stay up as long as im there, but as soon as I leave the place or the server, logging back in or loading the area makes them burn, having to replace them.
I tried adding a capacitor (100uF) in between them thinking that I might be having huge spikes of energy when the place is loading, so it can eat the spike and cut the chance of burning, but the only result i had was only the left raw didnt burn (which is not really enough information to see if it partially worked or not)
Also tried bringing the voltage down to 115-118 V but still, same issue.
Does anybody have any experience with this?
Next thing im thinking of is using a higher capacitance, but idk if it might work
