Transformer
Block blockname: DC-DC Converter image: Transformer type: Single requirements: Voltage
The DC-DC Converter (previously known as the "Transfomer") is a device that can step voltage up and therefore lower amperage and vice versa. It is used everytime you need to connect devices or generators with a difference between their voltage to each other.
In Electrical Age the transformer works with DC voltage but in real life it works only with AC.
To use the DC-DC converter correctly you have to put a specified amount of wires on each winding and the Ferromagnetic Core.
There is primary and secondary winding but you can swap it. Each winding is marked with a green or yellow rectangle.
Transformer can multiply or divide voltage according to this formula :
Vsec = (Vpri · nsec) / npri Vsec = Voltage at secondary
winding
Vpri = Voltage at primary winding
nsec = Amount of wires in secondary winding
npri = Amount of wires in primary winding
In this example the green winding has 1 Low Voltage
Cable and voltage on it is 50V.
The yellow winding have 4 Medium Voltage Cables
and according to above formula, the voltage will be 200V.
Vsec = (50V · 4) / 1
Vsec = 200V
