The Low Voltage Transformer is used to turn '''Medium Voltage''' (MV) [[EU]] current into '''Low Voltage''' (LV) and back. This is useful for powering basic machines.<br />
<br />
MV current must be wired into the High Voltage face (the 3-dotted one), while LV current can be wired into any other face. By default, the Transformer outputs LV current. A Redstone signal must be applied to it in order to make it reverse flow, thereby emitting MV current from the High Voltage face (the 3-dotted one).<br />

== Usage ==<br />
<br />
When using any Transformer, remember that the 3-dotted side means '''higher current''' and the 1-dotted sides mean '''lower current'''. You can change the direction the 3-dotted side is facing by right-clicking a 1-dotted face with a [[Wrench]].<br />
<br />
=== Converting to LV: ===<br />
<br />
In order to convert from MV to LV, you must point the [[Cable|cable]] carrying MV from a [[MV Transformer]] or [[MFE Unit]] to the 3-dotted side and then link a cable to one of the sides with a single dot. Then that cable will be carrying LV that you can safely link to machines or store in a [[BatBox]].<br />
<br />
=== Converting to MV: ===<br />
<br />
In order to convert from LV to MV, point the cable carrying LV from a [[BatBox]] or a [[Generator]] to one of the one-dotted sides and then link a cable that can carry MV to the 3-dotted side. '''Do not forget to apply Redstone''' to the LV Transformer. Or connect the cable carrying LW to the 3-dotted side and connect a cable capable of carrying MW or higher to the one-dotted sides. In this case '''Don't aply redstone!'''.<br />
