First of all, it can be use to tune MFE's to assign a specified power output, different from the standard 32[[EU]]/s on. Each click on the button will increase the Output by 1 [[EU]]/s.

This is important, because of a currents behavior in the energy net:
This is important to know so that you don't send too much current through a cable, as that can cause a machine/storage device to explode.


Sending HIGHER currents will effectively waste less energy on travel. If you send five times a 10 [[EU]]s Current along cable, wasting 4 [[EU]] on each send (due to cable length),

you will only receive 30 [[EU]] on the end.
 
If you send a single 50 [[EU]]s package, it will loose 4 [[EU]], and end up with 46 on the end.
 
On the other hand, overpowering machines with to high current can cause wasted energy. If a machine is charged 599/600 and you send 50 [[EU]] in, it will be powered, but waste 49 [[EU]].
 
If you send a continous strem, strong enough to power machines permanently (you can check exact values further down), it will waste (at max!) only a few [[EU]].
 
Per smelting!
 
As well, you may click ANY cable, to instantly measure the sum of all currents running through it.

The ElectricUnit Meter is a device used to measure currents passing through cables or storage devices.

(Note that the name is different, this is because of an update in v.1.97, the name has been changed to EU-Reader)

This is important to know so that you don't send too much current through a cable, as that can cause a machine/storage device to explode.

You may click ANY cable or storage device to begin measurement. Clicking the same cable again will display the averagely measured EU/t and how long the measurement took place (in Ticks).

Extremely valuable for determining how to wire stuff up for maximum efficiency.
