New Item/Block of IndustrialCraft².

The Medium Voltage Transformer is used to turn High Power (512 EUP) into Medium Power (128EUP) and back. This is useful for powering advanced machines and for medium-range energy transport. The transformer can only handle one conversion per tick, limiting it to 512 EU/t up or down. It can handle the output of one MFSU or the input of four MFE Units or sixteen batboxs.

512 EUP must be wired into the output face (the 3-dotted one), while MV current can be wired into any otherface. By default, the Transformer outputs MV current. A Redstone signal must be applied to it in order to make it reverse flow, thereby emitting HV current from the High Voltage face (the 3-dotted one).

Recipe

Usage

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.

Converting to MV:

In order to convert from HV to MV, you must point the cable carrying HV from a HV Transformer or MFS Unit to the 3-dotted side and then link a cable that can carry MV to one of the sides with a single dot. Then that cable will be carrying MV that you can link to advanced machines, store in a MFE Transmitter or convert to LV with an LV Transformer.

Converting to HV:

In order to convert from MV to HV, point the cable carrying MV from a MFE Transmitter or a LV Transformer to one of the one-dotted sides and then link a cable that can carry HV to the 3-dotted side. Do not forget to apply redstone to the MV Transformer.
