Note: When used as numbers in calculations, ULV Tier counts as Tier 0, LV Tier counts as Tier 1, and so on.

'''Any GT Block outputting EU has an energy loss on output.''' This means there is no such thing as lossless power transfer. A power outputting singleblock will take <math>8\times4^{tier}+2^{max(0, tier-1)}</math> EU from its internal buffer and output <math>8\times4^{tier}</math> EU (which is always the maximum EU one amp of that voltage tier can hold). For example, a [[LV]] [[Combustion Generator]] draws 33 EU from its internal buffer to generate 1 amp holding 32 EU. The energy lost is therefore <math>2^{max(0, tier-1)}</math>. ULV is an exception, having the same loss value as LV, i.e. 1 EU.

Line 433:
Transformers convert EU between voltage tiers. In Step Up mode, they draw up to 4 amps of a lower voltage to fill their internal buffers, and draw from their internal buffers to produce 1A of a higher voltage. This can allow lower tier amps to power higher tier machines which may only draw 1-2 A for a recipe. Similarly, in Step Down mode, they draw 1 amp of a higher voltage to fill their internal buffers, and draw from their internal buffers to produce up to 4A of a lower voltage. This allows use of higher tier power generators with lower tier machines while preventing explosions. Use a [[GT Tools#Soft Mallet|Soft Mallet]] to switch the mode.
 
The big dot with a plus is the high voltage side and is the front face, while the five smaller circles are the lower voltage sides. Regardless of mode, the big dot is ''*always*'' for the higher voltage. That means in Step Up mode, transformers have one output, five inputs, and in Step Down mode, they have five outputs, one input.
 
The output loss section above applies to transformer outputs as well.
