Barotrauma

A brownout is not solved reliably by copying someone else's reactor dial values. Read the electrical state and your sub's actual load, compare it with available output, then check whether turbine demand, fuel condition, load spikes or wiring explains the mismatch. The local calculator only subtracts values you enter; it cannot tune or control a reactor.
