The High Voltage Transformer is used to turn '''Extreme Voltage''' (EV) [[EU]] current into '''High Voltage''' (HV) and back. This transformation is useful for carrying EU over extreme distances without significant losses.
 
EV current must be wired into the output face (the 3-dotted one), while HV current can be wired into any other face. By default, the Transformer outputs HV current. A Redstone signal must be applied to it in order to make it reverse flow, thereby emitting EV current from the High Voltage face (the 3-dotted one).

== Usage ==
 
When using any Transformer, remember that the 3-dotted face means '''higher current''' and the 1-dotted face means '''lower current'''. You can change the direction the 3-dotted face is facing by right-clicking a 1-dotted face with a [[Wrench]].
 
=== Converting to HV: ===
 
In order to convert EV to HV, you must point the [[Cable|cable]] carrying EV from another HV Transformer to the 3-dotted face and then link a cable to one of the faces with a single dot. Then that cable will be carrying HV that you can link to an [[MFS Unit]] or an [[MV Transformer]].
 
=== Converting to EV: ===
 
In order to convert HV to EV, point the cable carrying HV from an MFS Unit or an MV Transformer to one of the one-dotted sides and then link a cable that can carry EV to the 3-dotted side. '''Do not forget to apply redstone''' to the HV Transformer.
