The Low Voltage Transformer is used to turn [[Current#MV|MV]] [[EU]] current into [[Current#LV|LV]] and back. This is useful for when you only want a small bit of current, like for powering basic machines.
The Low Voltage Transformer is used to turn [[Current#Medium Voltage|Medium Voltage]] (MV) [[EU]] current into [[Current#Low Voltage|Low Voltage]] (LV) and back. This is useful for powering basic machines.


All energy that comes into the Transformer through all sides except the face will power it up. The low voltage current is then emitted through the side with the face. A redstone signal must be applied to the Transformer in order to make it emit MV current.
MV current must be wired into the output face (the 3-dotted one), while HV current can be wired into any otherface. By default, the Transformer outputs LV current. A redstone signal must be applied to it in order to make it emit MV current.

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

MV current must be wired into the output face (the 3-dotted one), while HV current can be wired into any otherface. By default, the Transformer outputs LV current. A redstone signal must be applied to it in order to make it emit MV current.

Usage[edit]

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

Converting to LV:[edit]

In order to convert from MV to LV, you must point the cable carrying MV from a MV Transformer or MFE Transmitter 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 LV that you can safely link to machines or store in a BatBox.

Converting to MV:[edit]

In order to convert from LV to MV, point the cable carrying LV from a BatBox or a Generator to one of the one-dotted sides and then link a cable that can carry MV to the 3-dotted side. Do not forget to apply redstone to the LV Transformer.
