| The Low Voltage Transformer is mainly used to turn '''Medium Voltage''' (MV) [[EU]] current into '''Low Voltage''' (LV) and back. This is useful for powering basic machines.
| |
| | |
| 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).

| * If redstone power is '''not''' applied, it consumes 128 EU in up to 128 EU/p and converts them into up to four 32 EU/p. '''All conversions are limited to one per tick. (Converting 2048 EU into 4x512 EU is considered one conversion.)'''
| |
| * If redstone power is applied, it consumes 128 EU in up to 128 EU/p and converts them into one 128 EU/p. '''All conversions are limited to one per tick.'''

| == Usage ==
| |
| | |
| When using any Transformer, remember that the 3-dotted side means '''higher voltage''' and the 1-dotted sides mean '''lower voltage'''. You can change the direction the 3-dotted side is facing by right-clicking a 1-dotted face with a [[Wrench]].
| |
| | |
| === Converting to LV: ===
| |
| In order to convert to LV, you must point the input cable (maximum "voltage" is MV or 128 EU/p) to the 3-dotted side and then link any number of output cables from the 1-dotted side. Remember to use input cables that can withstand the packets you are sending in and any cable except [[Tin Cable|Ultra-Low Current Cable]] for the output.
| |
| | |
| === Converting to MV: ===
| |
| In order to convert to MV, '''you must apply redstone power through a lever, a repeater or a redstone wire''', point the input cables (maximum "voltage" is MV or 128 EU/p) to any 1-dotted side and then link the output cable from the 3-dotted side. Remember to use input cables that can withstand the packets you are sending in and any cable except [[Tin Cable|Ultra-Low Current Cable]] or [[Copper Cable]] for the output.
