High-Voltage Transformers are capable of transforming normal current into high-volatge. And high-voltage to normal current. And that current to high-voltage again, and that high-voltage... now, i think you get the idea.<br/>
High-Voltage has serious advantages, and a small, nearly unimportant disadvantage.<br/>
First of all, it comes in a current strength of over <s>9000</s>2000 [[EU]]s. Got it, TWO THOUSAND!
If you power a HV Transformer (via one of the 4 side inputs), it will start charging it's capacitor to 2000 [[EU]] and then release an extremely powerful current spike of 2000 [[EU]]s into any cable wired to it's top.<br/>
Alternatively, it will constantly emit it's charge in neat 50 [[EU]]s packaged from it's bottom. (Keep in mind, only one of these things at a time. Preferable sending HV.)<br/>
Due to the 2000er [[EU]] strength, distance-based energy loss is NEARLY OBSOLETE. Seriously, you loose like 1 [[EU]] every 5 meters. Even across 200 meters, this barely makes 40 [[EU]]. 40 [[EU]] of 2000 [[EU]]s? Pah, that's ludicrously low, HAYO!<br/>

However, please take note, that HV is extremely lethal and dangerous to handle. Do not walk on HV-carrying cables, neither do try to lick them. Specially don't link volatges of above 100 [[EU]]s directly into machines, it will probably cause severy damage / destruction.

All energy that comes into the Transformer through all sides except the output face will power it up. The HV current is then emitted through the output face. A redstone signal must be applied to the Transformer in order to make it emit EV current.

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.

All energy that comes into the Transformer through all sides except the output face will power it up. The HV current is then emitted through the output face. A redstone signal must be applied to the Transformer in order to make it emit EV current.

Usage[edit]

When using any Transformer, remember that the 3-dotted side means higher current and the 1-dotted side mean lower current. You can change the direction the 3-dotted side is facing by right-clicking a 1-dotted side with a Wrench.

Converting to HV:[edit]

In order to convert EV to HV, you must point the cable carrying EV from another HV Transformer 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 HV that you can link to an MFS Unit or an MV Transformer.

Converting to EV:[edit]

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.
