Since i started using HV wires and a transformer to down step to LV wires then into ic2 machines, the wires burn out.\r\n\r\nIf i switch out the the wires going from transformer -> ic2 machine to MV wire, it doesn't burn out.\r\n\r\nBut even if the ic2 machines is going at full power (32eu * 4 = 128RF) the wire should be FAR from burning out since 2048RF/t is max for LV wires and besides, why does the wires figure out that the machine desires higher than 2048RF/t? it clearly says 32eu max and 10eu per operation.\r\n\r\nIs this a problem with variable machine power usage?\r\n\r\nI have even tried to connect to a ic2 transformer first to solve this, but alas: it still burns out.\r\n\r\nMy guess: The HV transformer isn't doing its job to properly down step the HV to LV (and using a MV transformer after the HV one doesn't help either).\r\n\r\nMy second guess: transformers don't actually restrict RF flow, they just allow to step up or step down wire types but it will STILL attempt to send a HV current into a LV line.\r\n\r\nSo how do i step down from a high energy flow into a lower one where i can safely connect my machines?\r\n\r\n\r\nPossible solution i'll try next: Put down a capacitor as a buffer, it will eat up the HV and send it out with a LV connector, this should work! (i'll try it now)\r\n\r\nedit: tried it, works beautifully! :D\r\n\r\n\r\nConclusion: Capacitors are the true transformers."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/BluSunrize/ImmersiveEngineering/issues/comments/173332553","html_url":"https://github.com/BluSunrize/ImmersiveEngineering/issues/908#issuecomment-173332553","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/BluSunrize/ImmersiveEngineering/issues/908","id":173332553,"user":{"login":"tzpb8","id":9417797,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/9417797?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8","html_url":"https://github.com/tzpb8","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tzpb8/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-01-20T19:26:23Z","updated_at":"2016-01-20T19:26:23Z","body":"Not sure how transformers spit, will i need a power consumer to keep the 2nd transformer busy? or will it kill off half the original energy flow? (say from random 3000RF/t to a safe level of 1500RF/t)\r\n\r\nSo the original wire will only output 1500RF/t because it detects 2 transformers at the end so no extra energy is actually wasted because of 2 transformers?"}}
