<!--GregTech: New Horizons has 9 finished Voltage Tiers as of version 2.0.2.5, it also has 3 Voltage Tier partial finished voltage levels(*) and 4 not reachable voltage levels(**).-->
 
GregTech tiers its progression by different voltages. The voltage of a [[Generator]] (or for a multiblock generator, its [[Dynamo Hatch]]) determines the maximum amount of EU it will generate and put in each generated amp. '''The voltage of a singleblock machine or [[Energy Hatch]] determines the maximum amount of EU that can be present in any drawn amp before the machine explodes.''' IfThe aminimum recipe'svoltage EU/ttier usage exceedsof a machine's voltage EU limits (or if the recipe allows for drawing additional amps, when the recipe's voltage or EU/t usage per amp exceeds that limit), it will not attempt to process the recipe; the minimum voltage tier machine to process thata recipe is listed next to the usage or voltage in [[NEI]].
 
The EU Limit of each subsequent tier is usually 4 times the previous.
Line 77:
Machines and energy hatches can only draw amps in full to fill their internal EU buffers. The capacity of the internal buffer is listed as "Capacity:" in the machine's or hatch's tooltip. When processing a recipe, a machine will draw from its internal buffer. The current contents of the internal buffer can be checked with the [[Portable Scanner]].
 
The maximum amount of amps a machine can draw is either listed on its tooltip or recipe-dependent. The amperage of a recipe can be found in [[NEI]]. If no amperage is listed, the recipe's amperage is 1. A machine can draw up to a maximum of <math>\left\lfloor {\frac{2 \times \text{Recipe Usage EU/t}}{\text{Voltage Tier EU Limit}}} \right\rfloor + 1</math> amps to fill its internal buffer. This means that if the machine isn't processing a recipe, it will draw 1 amp to refill the internal buffer. Recipe amperages listed in [[NEI]] are a recommended number to fill the internal buffer at a rate that breaks even against usage.
 
Several common amperages of GregTech machines can be found in the table below. "Drawing" means "draws up to", unless otherwise stated.
