I'm trying to convert my energy from HV to MV using transformers. I hook up my MFSU to a MV Transformer. The output of the MV transformer is still 512. Having the same problem going from MV to LV. The LV Transformer is outputing 128.
HV to MV to LV Bug?

Major Electric Engineering misconception.
Quote from "Zjarek"Display MoreIn IC2 electricity is only a buzz word for small magical dwarfs carrying nanobatteries. From every energy source or storage there is one dwarf released every tick. Size of a dwarf is determined by amount of energy they are carrying. Cables are in reality just a tunnels where they run. If a cable or machine don't provide enough space for a dwarf it will get angry and blow up.
However many dwarfs are happy to run alongside each other and will in cooperation carry any amount of energy through a cable. Big dwarf will still prefer to blow up, then to split, but he can split into smaller dwarfs in transformer. Every smaller dwarf which is produced by transformer can go to the same output tunnel.
These useful little creatures are also sometimes nicknamed packets.
In this case, your 512-EU-dwarf has been converted to four 128-EU-dwarves which will be converted to sixteen 32-EU-dwarves.

^ That, with the additional note that a single transformer only makes one big dwarf or four small ones per tick, so you'll only get 128 EU/t out of an LV transformer -- so it'll take it four ticks to make all sixteen of the 32 EU dwarves.
