Large Power Transformer is intended to separate two circuits to protect the circuit at output side from overload damage. Like the Power Transformer, it works as a buffer between generators and primary circuits, but allowing 4 kW on those primary circuits instead of 1 kW.
Usage
Transformers have an input side (the upper attachment point) and an output side (the lower attachment point). High-power circuits should enter the transformer through its upper input, and will output up to 4 kW on the output side as long the input side can support it.
For more details see Power Transformer.
History
- AU-217187: Introduced.
- EU-279457: Maximum power output increased to 4 kW. Power capacity increased to 4 kJ. Now requires 200 kg Refined Metal instead of 200 kg Raw Metal. Now requires Low-Resistance Conductors instead of Advanced Power Regulation.
- QLM1-299745: Renamed from Power Transformer.
- U51-594767: Potential Load tooltip should now consider Power Transformer consumption.
