Overview

The Splitter is a passthrough distribution device that takes a single power input and distributes it across three independent outputs with zero power loss or internal consumption. It is the opposite of the Combiner, serving as the primary tool for branching a single power feed into multiple circuits. With a maximum throughput capacity of 200 units per second, it handles complex multi-branch layouts efficiently.

How It Works

The Splitter accepts a single power input (input_1) and routes it to three independent output ports (output_1, output_2, output_3) with zero loss or internal consumption. Power from the input is distributed across outputs according to load demand—devices drawing higher loads receive proportional power. The total throughput cannot exceed 200 u/s; excess power above this limit is blocked at the input. This inverts the Combiner's function, enabling flexible networks where one source feeds multiple branches.

Wiring Examples

Basic Three-Way Distribution

Source
Splitter
Device 1
Device 2
Device 3

A single power source feeds the splitter, which branches to three separate devices or circuits. All connected devices draw from the same pool of incoming power.

Lighting Setup

Solar Panel T2 (50 u/s)
Splitter
Ceiling Light 1 (10 u/s)
Ceiling Light 2 (10 u/s)
Ceiling Light 3 (10 u/s)

A 50 u/s source feeds the splitter, which distributes power to three ceiling lights. Total consumption is 30 u/s, leaving 20 u/s available for additional devices on any output branch.

Multi-Zone Base Control

Battery
Splitter
Zone A: Lights + Devices (30 u/s)
Zone B: Furnace + Lights (50 u/s)
Zone C: Refrigerator + Lights (20 u/s)

Organize a large base into independent zones. Each branch can be controlled separately with switches or sensors, enabling granular power management.

Chain multiple splitters to create branching networks with more than three outputs. Useful for sprawling bases with many independent power circuits.

Tips

  • Zero consumption — use as many splitters as needed without internal power loss
  • Perfect for organizing bases into independent control zones
  • Opposite of Combiner — use both together to create flexible routing networks
  • Lightweight kit (3,000g) makes it easy to transport and relocate
  • Monitor total throughput to stay under 200 u/s limit on high-power bases
  • Chain multiple splitters for more than three branches
  • Each output branch can support different load profiles independently
  • No LED indicators needed — purely passive distribution with no state
