Electricity

GTCE uses the EU, energy unit, to measure its electrical power. It is currently unknown whether GTCE EU is compatible with IC2 EU. Electricity takes into account 3 different concepts: amperage, loss and voltage.

Amperage
Amperage is the number of packets of electricity sent through a wire. Smaller cables handle smaller numbers of packets at one time. Voltage held constant, the greater amperage a cable can handle, the greater amount of EUs can pass through a cable at one time. Amperage ranges in powers of 2 from 1 to 16 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16).

Loss
Loss is the amount of EU that is subtracted from each packet passing through a length, 1 block, of cable. Because this amount is applied to each packet and not the full quantity of energy, the amperage of a cable/wire will not reduce the overall amount of loss.

E.g., 4 packets of ULV voltage traveling through a 4x tin wire is:

4 packets * (8 EU/p - 4 loss/p) = 16 EU

Voltage
Voltage is measured by the amount of EU in a packet, ranging anywhere from anything greater than 0 to the maximum of 2,147,483,647 EU. All machines and cables have a limit to the voltage they can accept. Machines will explode and cables will catch fire if this limit is exceeded.

Ultra Low Voltage (ULV)
Ultra low voltage is the lowest possible voltage, ranging from (0, 8] EU.

Low Voltage (LV)
Low voltage is the second lowest voltage, ranging from (8, 32] EU.

Medium Voltage (MV)
Medium voltage is the third lowest voltage, ranging from (32, 128] EU.

High Voltage (HV)
Medium voltage is the fourth lowest voltage, ranging from (128, 512] EU.

Extreme Voltage (EV)
Extreme voltage is the fifth smallest or sixth highest voltage, ranging from (512, 2048] EU.

Insane Voltage (IV)
Insane voltage is the sixth smallest or fifth highest ranging from (2048, 8192] EU.

Ludicrous Voltage (LuV)
Ludicrous voltage is the fourth highest voltage, ranging from (8192, 32,768] EU.

ZPM (ZPM)
ZPM, the only voltage to not currently have a full name, is the third highest voltage, ranging from (32,768, 131,072] EU.

Ultimate Voltage (UV)
Ultimate voltage is, ironically, the penultimate voltage, ranging from (131,072, 524,288]

Maximum Voltage (MAX)
Maximum voltage is, as the name implies, the highest voltage possible, ranging from (524,288, 2,147,483,647] EU, the maximum value of a signed Java int data type.
