The '''HV Transformer''' is used to convert '''High Voltage''' (512 EU/t) into '''Extreme Voltage''' (2048 EU/t) and back.  The HV Transformer is one step up from the [[MV Transformer]] and will take incoming packets [[EU]] packets up to 512 in size and convert them into larger packets up to 2048 in size.
 
A Redstone signal may be applied to reverse the conversion, thereby emitting 2048 [[EUP]] from the output face (the 3-dotted one), and accepting 512 EUP or lower from the input faces.
 
The HV Transformer can handle a maximum of one conversion per tick, limiting the maximum transfer to 2048 EU/t in either mode.
 
The voltage conversion is lossless which makes choosing the proper wiring for the interfaces easy.  The Extreme Voltage I/O can only be handled by [[HV Cable]].  The High Voltage I/O face is safe to connect to [[Glass Fibre Cable]], [[Splitter Cable]], [[Detector Cable]], and [[HV Cable]] only. 
 
Note that since HV Cable suffers from high resistance losses, HV Transformers should be placed to close to whatever is using/producing the Extreme Voltage to minimize this loss.
