-The powerline feature is coming. I can't tell when it's going to be officially released, but let's take an Overview about these features
+Sometimes you need to transfer more than 15kW.
 ==Basics==
 Poles and wires, both creating a powerline, are very similar to every other cable, only without isolation. (air is an insulator) To connect two powerlines, one must use high voltage cable equal to the distance between the two poles, plus one to accommodate for slack. The amount of wires the network calculates between poles is equal to the amount of wires used to create the connection. Due the very high voltages, power lines have a very low loss. The losses may be slightly higher than VHV cables but power lines are vastly cheaper. Consider the costs and benefits when choosing which power transportation system to use.

 Powerline voltages can reach as high as 12800V, other stats are pretty similar to HV cables, that is:
 U = 6.25A

 ==Usage==
-Simply rightclick on two poles you want to connect! Poles rotate automaticly.
+Simply right click on two poles you want to connect! Poles rotate automatically. You cannot connect poles that are farther than 24 blocks apart.
-In order to put voltage on poles, you need to use the Transformer Pole. It automaticly makes voltage 4x higher.
+In order to transfer electricity on poles, one needs to use the Transformer Pole on any point connecting between the power lines and an electrical network. Electricity going into the poles will step the voltage up by 4x, allowing it to travel down the line with minimal loss. It will also step down the voltage back down if you draw electricity from the poles, allowing it to be safely used.
-While pulling voltage down from poles, transformer pole steps voltage back down, 4x higher voltage is not a problem.
