| MV Transformers (MVT) are mainly used for converting High Voltage (512 EU/p) into Medium Voltage (128 EU/p) and vice versa.
| |
| | |
| Unlike Real Life™, there is no actual "voltage" in IC². EU travels in "packets" through wires with near-infinite speed and has smart pathfinding (somewhat like RP2 pneumatic tubes). Packets are measured in size (in EU/p) and volume (EU). (Size being the amount of energy it contains as it leaves a storage unit, volume being how much energy is left in each packet after inefficient cable usage).
| |
| | |
| An MVT operates in the following ways:
| |
| | |
| * If redstone power is '''not''' applied, 512 EU in packets of up to 512 EU/p is converted into up to four packets of 128 EU/p. '''All conversions are limited to one per tick. (Converting 512 EU into 4x128 EU is considered one conversion.)'''
| |
| * If redstone power is applied, 512 EU in packets of up to 512 EU/p is converted into one packet of 512 EU/p. '''All conversions are limited to one per tick.'''

| <!-- Note for wiki users. As for MFE units, do NOT replace "Golden cable" by "Copper cable" in the recipes. Check in game before changing. As the 1.97, recipes for MV tech are with golden cable, for balances issues. The recipe of the old version has been transfered to the bottom. -->

| == Usage ==
| |
| | |
| When using any Transformer, remember that the 3-dotted side means '''higher voltage''' and the 1-dotted sides mean '''lower voltage'''. You can change the direction the 3-dotted side is facing by right-clicking a 1-dotted face with a [[Wrench]].
| |
| | |
| === Converting to MV: ===
| |
| In order to convert to MV, you must point the input cable (maximum "voltage" is HV, 512 EU/p) to the 3-dotted side and then link any number of output cables from the 1-dotted side. Remember to use input cables that can withstand the packets you are sending in and [[Gold Cable]], [[HV Cable]] or [[Glass Fibre Cable]] for the output.
| |
| | |
| === Converting to HV: ===
| |
| In order to convert to HV, you must '''apply redstone power through a lever, a repeater or a redstone wire''', point the input cables (maximum "voltage" is HV, 512 EU/p) to any 1-dotted side and then link the output cable from the 3-dotted side. Remember to use input cables that can withstand the packets you are sending in and [[HV Cable]] or [[Glass Fibre Cable]] for the output.
