Required Tool

The HV-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.

EV current must be wired into the input face (the 5-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 5-dotted one).

It can handle a maximum of one conversion per tick, limiting the maximum transfer to 2048 EU/t in either mode. However, HV transformer itself can withstand incoming packets of about 2 billion EU. Therefore, it can be directly connected to any device, even Superconductor Wires without blowing up.
