Deucexm: Initial writeup; need to check mode names in GUI

Initial writeup; need to check mode names in GUI

New page

A '''transformer''' is a block that converts [[EU]] from one [[power tier]] to another. Transformers are named for their default output (lower) voltage.

== Use and notes ==

When placed, a transformer's higher-voltage texture is oriented toward the player. This is indicated by five dots (observe the images in the table below). The transformer's five other faces are each occupied by a single dot, indicating the lower-voltage side. Whether these faces are input or output is determined by the transformer's mode.

Transformers are always in either '''step-up''' or '''step-down''' mode.
* Step-down: accept input through the higher-voltage face, output through all valid connections to the lower-voltage faces. (''Default, if no redstone signal is applied.'')
* Step-up: accept input through all valid connections to the lower-voltage faces, output through the higher-voltage face.
There are three options to choose from in the GUI.
* Redstone toggled (default): transformer is in step-down mode without a redstone signal. When signal is applied, mode changes to step-up.
* Step-up: transformer is in step-up mode regardless of redstone signal state.
* Step-down: transformer is in step-down mode regardless of redstone signal state.
It is important to set the mode properly, in order to avoid errant redstone signals causing ''explosive'' problems.

''Note'': Transformers have a small internal EU buffer that is not indicated in their GUI (probably the size of one packet). Thus, remember to install {{InlineGrid|Transformer upgrade}} [[Transformer upgrade]]s in your machine ''before'' connecting it to the energy net, even if you don't have an active generator, just in case some EU still lingers somewhere. Ha haaa... oops.

To '''reorient''' a transformer, right-click with a [[wrench]] on the face you want to use for higher-voltage, or shift-right-click to set it as the opposite face.

To '''remove''' a transformer, simply wrench the higher-voltage face (or shift-wrench the face opposite it).

IC² currently has four transformers. Their step-down mode specifications are listed first, that being the default.
