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.
There is no "Voltage" and current energy implementation have nothing with IRL electricity, "voltage" term is totally wrong.
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).


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).
512<>2048 EU\P HV Transformer allow to stack four 512 packets into single 2048 or break 2048 packet into four 512.
Transformer have efficiency of 100% (no energy loss) and will pass 2048 EU into 512 wires in form of four 512 packets without burning anything.


It can handle a maximum of one conversion per tick, limiting the maximum transfer to 2048 [[EU#EU/t|EU/t]] in either mode.
Transformer will never IO more then 2048 EU\T, unlike cables that can handle unlimited EU\T.
To overcome this limit you need multiple transformers linked to same cables in parralel.
 
3-DOT side is 2048 IO
Other sides are 512 IO
 
(IO - Input Output)
 
Default mode is 2048>512*4
Providing redstone current will switch mode to X>2048.
 
NOTE: internal storage of 2048 allow this one to burn your stuff ever without power source.

When using any Transformer, remember that the 3-dotted face means '''higher voltage''' and the 1-dotted face means '''lower voltage'''. 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.

There is no "Voltage" and current energy implementation have nothing with IRL electricity, "voltage" term is totally wrong. 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).

512<>2048 EU\P HV Transformer allow to stack four 512 packets into single 2048 or break 2048 packet into four 512. Transformer have efficiency of 100% (no energy loss) and will pass 2048 EU into 512 wires in form of four 512 packets without burning anything.

Transformer will never IO more then 2048 EU\T, unlike cables that can handle unlimited EU\T. To overcome this limit you need multiple transformers linked to same cables in parralel.

3-DOT side is 2048 IO Other sides are 512 IO

(IO - Input Output)

Default mode is 2048>512*4 Providing redstone current will switch mode to X>2048.

NOTE: internal storage of 2048 allow this one to burn your stuff ever without power source.
