There is no "Voltage" and current energy implementation has nothing to do with Real Life electricity, "voltage" term is totally wrong.
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).
Energy transfered like items over pipe network with instant speed and smart pathfinding. (same implementation as RP2 pneumatics but instant)
Theese "items" called packets and have only one parameter - size.
Size measures in Energy Unit per Packet (EU\P).


A HVT (or High Voltage Transformer) can transform any amount of packets from the '''3-Dotted Side''' (max size 2048 EU-p) into 512 EU-packets at the '''1-Dotted Sides'''. (E.g. 2x 2048 EU-p --> 8x 512 EU-p)
A HVT (or High Voltage Transformer) operates in two different ways.
If redstone'd, the HVT will transform any amount of packets from the '''1-Dotted Side''' (max size 512 EU-p) into 2048 EU-packets at the '''3-Dotted Sides'''. (E.g. 4x 512 EU-p --> 1x 2048 EU-p)
* If redstone power is '''not''' applied, it consumes 2048 EU in '''any packet size''' and converts them into one 2048 EU/p
* If redstone power is applied, it consumes 2048 EU in '''any packet size''' and converts them into up to four 512 EU/p.

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).

A HVT (or High Voltage Transformer) operates in two different ways.

  • If redstone power is not applied, it consumes 2048 EU in any packet size and converts them into one 2048 EU/p
  • If redstone power is applied, it consumes 2048 EU in any packet size and converts them into up to four 512 EU/p.

Other usages[edit]

Multiple HVT may be directly installed on a Nuclear Reactor if the reactor outputs more than 2048 EU/t as conventional wires (HV cables) cannot handle packet sizes over 2048 EU/p.
