Hello,
I'm pretty new to creating custom subs and I would like to ask for some help regarding (as the titile says) power fluctuation.
I've created two subs for singleplayer use, both of them having the same problem: As soon as the sub starts moving the power starts jumping between a grid load of 1700 and 4300, therefore overloading the junction boxes and the lights constantly flickering. I'm quite certain that the problem comes from the engine and/or the ballast pumps and I've tried different ways to prevent it from happening but had no success. I would be very thankful with any tips you can offer me regarding this.
I might have to upload the sub here to show how I wired everything but unfortunately I don't know how to do that.
I'm thanking everyone in advance for taking the time to help me.

#2Having batteries connected to the grid would help a lot, don't forget to set them to charge.

#3First of all thank you for replying so fast.
I have 2 batteries hooked up to the grid on 30% recharge rate but it didnt seem to help. Are two not enough or is the recharge rate too low?

#4The link below has tips for sub building. There's one that explains a way to partially separate the engine from the main grid. That will help a lot with that issue.
