Summary0000848: Transformers not outputting the correct EU/t
DescriptionI'm not sure where to start with this one, since the more I test the more convoluted the problem becomes.

When I use an EV, HV, and MV transformer (did not try LV) they do not output their respective 2048, 512, or 128 EU/t from their 5 step-down ports. I first noticed this when charging an mfe from an mfsu that was attached to an EV transformer which was stepping down an 8192EU/t line into 4x 2048EU/t lines. The MFSU was not draining, but it was not charging either. It's energy level was staying at one spot like it's output was being matched by it's input.

In SSP I went ahead and made a test configuration (http://i.imgur.com/10Z85MG.png) this tested the outputs of each trannsformer. I then went ahead of pulled the energy the transformers should be outputting from any of the connected energy storage devices (2048EU/t for EV-Trnasformer and MFSU, 512 EU/t from HV-Transformer and MFE, 128EU/t from MV-Transformer and CESU) and found that pulling what should be the proper EU/t from the devices caused them to rapidly drain, and pulling non-experimental EU/t caused them to stay stable.

without a working EU-Reader I can't really tell how much the the transformers are outputting. But my closest guestimate is that the EV-Transformer is outputting 512EU-1024/t and the HV-Transformer is outputting 128EU-256/t. I arrived at these results by pulling those numbers from attached storage devices and observing the energy levels being stable (not draining or filling)

The confusing part is when you start attaching non-IC2 devices to the transformers. You get the proper output EU/t on non-IC2 devices from the transformers for some reason.
Steps To ReproduceTake an EV-Transformer, attach an 8192 EU/t line to the HV side and attach 4 MFSU's to the 4 outputs.

First observation: The 8192EU/t energy source/storage continues to rapidly fill up. Even though it "should" be being drained for 8192EU/t.

Second observation: The MFSU's fill up extremely slowly. slower than a nearby MFSU attached to a 2048EU/t energy source. (The Transformer attached MFSU filles up at exactly 1/2 the rate of the other one)

Attach any non-IC2 device that can either adjust it's input or show you the current input (advanced solars molecular transformer works well) and pull what the transfer should be outputting from the attached IC2 energy storage block.

Observation: The storage block will rapidly drain energy when the proper amount of EU is being pulled from it.
Additional InformationTL;DR

IC2 Experimental transformers are not outputting the same EU/t as advertised.

Did some more testing to verify.

In all cases the EV-Transformer does not output 2048EU/t from each line. As can be shown by hooking it up to an MFSU and then draining that MFSU with 2 or more MFE's.

In only some cases does the HV-Transformer not output the proper EU/t. I cannot determine why/when though.
