[[File:Gregtech_Machines_Transformer.jpg|thumb|right|Transformer in default mode, tranforming 1A HV to 4A MV. The single dotted sides are MV outputs while the HV input is the bigger, hollow + circle on the left]] Transformers are used to convert EU between power tiers. To run LV machinery off MV power generation, a Transformer is necessary to convert the energy into LV voltage. One Amp of the higher tier will make four Amps of the next tier down in Step-Down mode, the default (1A MV -> 4A LV). In Inverted Step-Up mode, Transformers can take four lower voltage amps and output a single higher voltage amp (4A LV -> 1A MV). Keep in mind that in this mode the lower voltage sides become the Input, and the higher voltage side is therefore the Output. The single larger circle on a Transformer is always the side that connects to the higher voltage.

Hit the transformer with a Soft Mallet to switch between its two modes. “Machine Active” is Step-Down mode, "Machine Inactive" is Step-Up mode. Never change mode on a transformer that has power or it will explode. Always disconnect cables before switching modes on Transformers.
