Description[edit]
The transformer is used to control the maximum amount of power that will flow on a cable, preventing the cables from overloading on high power draw. There are three variants of the transformer:
The Transformer (Small) requires 1x Kit (Transformer) to place and is limited to 5,000 W of output. It can be placed in any orientation on a supporting surface (floor, wall, or ceiling) and is available as Transformer Reversed (Small).
The Transformer (Medium) requires 3x Kit (Transformer) to place and is limited to 25,000 W of output. Similarly, it can be placed on any floor, wall, or ceiling and is available as a Transformer Reversed (Medium).
The Transformer (Large) requires 1x Kit Transformer (Large) to place and is limited to 50,000 W of output. It can only be placed in one orientation, ideally the floor, but it can be stacked above floor level by placing it partway into a frame.
Usage[edit]
Given that the transformer can limit power very specifically (with large 100 W increments or small 10 W increments), you can control or stop the output line from drawing more than the transformer gives out. This can be used to control many items that don't have a changing power usage, such as lights, volume pumps, pipe regulators, active vents, and more. This is similar to the Area Power Controller but does not have a battery buffer.
Notes[edit]
Data will not flow through a transformer, isolating the circuit behind their input.
The transformers seem to generate a large amount of heat.
The Transformer will use 10W itself(all sizes), so setting a small transformer to 5000 and feeding with a regular cable will cause the supply cable to blow as it can draw 5010W at max load
Data Network Properties[edit]
These are all Data Network properties of this device. This list is not tested at all for the Transformer Small and not complete for Transformer (kit/large variant).
Data Parameters[edit]
These are all parameters, that can be written to with a Logic Writer, Batch Writer, or Integrated Circuit (IC10). The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Writer's "VAR" setting cycles through them.
Header text | Header text | Header text |
---|---|---|
On | Boolean | Turns the Transformer on when set to 1. Turns it off when set to 0. |
Lock | Boolean | Locks the Transformer when set to 1. Unlocks it when set to 0 |
Setting | Integer | Sets the Transformer's power (in Watts) limit. |
Data Outputs[edit]
These are all parameters, that can be read with a Logic Reader or a Slot Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them. You cannot read ratios in IC2 chip (so far)
Parameter Name | Data Type | Description |
---|---|---|
On | Boolean | Returns whether the Transformer is turned on. (0 for no, 1 for yes) |
Maximum | Integer | Maximum setting of this device. (How high the device can be set, see description for specific numbers.) |
Lock | Boolean | Returns whether the Transformer is locked. (0 for no, 1 for yes) |
Error | Boolean | 1 if device is in error state, otherwise 0. |
Setting | Integer | Returns the current power limit (in Watts) of the Transformer. |
RequiredPower | Integer | Idle operating power quantity. (how much power, in watts, the device itself is using, rather than how much power it is passing through.) |
Ratio | Float | Ratio of the current power limit to the maximum power limit of the device |
PrefabHash | Integer | The hash of the device. (Can be found in the Stationpedia.) |
Power | Boolean | Returns 1 if the device is powered and on, otherwise 0. |
