Remote Power Converter won't toggle on.
Starting a discussion on this as it seems multiple people have the same issue.

I have two grids each with transmitters and converters. One is set to send, one is set to receive, and the transmitters acknowledge this, but the converter still won't toggle on. The grids are barely 50m from each other.

in my case nothing works
power transmitter is on but no power transmitted

remote power converter automaticaly turns off if nothing is coming from the transmitter

Same for distance between grids

edit: all worked before, couple months before

Seems to work now if:

Supply grid has a transmitter.
Receive grid has a transmitter and converter.
Then:

1. The power-supply grid is on Channel A (any number, not the actual letter A. I use channel 1), and all of that grid's power Transmitters are set to SEND in the control panel. (The channels can be different if needed)

2. The power-receive grid is also on Channel A (same as above), ALSO and the grid's power Transmitters are set to RECEIVE in the control panel.

Note that the supply grid does not need its own converter, only receiving grids do. I'm not entirely sure what I did differently since it was a while ago now, but as far as I can tell this method will work, up to the transmitter's functional range.

Did this get solved? I still cannot toggle on the Remote Power Converter. I think I have everything right:

Station: OPT (T:1, P:10, M:S)

Remote: OPT (I:1)
With an Optical Signal Amp (which will not turn on)

Not receiving any power and suspect its because the OSA will not turn on. Station and remote are 385m away from each other.

I'm using a radial power transmitter to transmit from a remote wind turbine power plant and receive it from Grid.
After all settings are made, the converter is repeatedly turned on and off.
However, the converter operates normally when the world is shut down and restarted.
I gave up because the optical transmitter didn't work when I set it up.
