Also, with the example setup in your video clip you need to make sure you have both phased conductive pipes set to the same frequency with the sending pipe set to 'Send' and the receiving pipe set to 'Send & Receive'.

If this isn't how you had things set up in your video it would explain why the gold conductive pipe exploded at the end of the video and also why you were draining power so quickly. The blue 'light' visible in the pipe is an indicator that power is building up and that your system might need attention.

N.B. If buildcraft power has nowhere to go it can, and often will, build up in the conductive pipes, draining any attached power source in the process until the pipes finally explode.
