The Electrical Age to other energy exporter can convert electrical age power into a number of other energy types. They have a GUI which can be used to set the maximum amount of energy which can be converted by the block. Doing will adjust the amount of power the converter will attempt to draw. Currently only RF, EU, and OpenComputer's power units are compatible. You cannot convert these units back into Watts for use with Electrical Age as that would allow the absurd storage (and sometimes generation) of the other power systems to unbalance the mod.

Variants

Converters are available in 50V, 200V, and 800V variants.

• 50V can handle 1000 watts
• 200V can handle 2000 watts
• 800V can handle 5000 watts

Conversions

• 1 RF/t = 13.33W
• 1 EU/t = 33.33W
• 1 OC/t = 1.33W

Another way of representing this is

• 1W = 0.075 RF/t
• 1W = 0.030 EU/t
• 1W = 0.752 OC/t

These values can be changed in the config. This is highly recommended if the current values are underpowered compared to other power generation in your modpack.

Comparisons to Other Generation Methods

Buildcraft Stirling Engine: 10 RF/t = 133W Railcraft Hobbyist Steam Engine: 16 RF/t = 213W Railcraft Commercial Steam Engine: 40 RF/t = 533W Buildcraft Combustion Engine: 60 RF/t = 800W Thermal Expansion Dynamo T0: 60 RF/t = 800W Railcraft Industrial Steam Engine: 80 RF/t = 1,066W Thermal Expansion Dynamo T1: 120 RF/t = 1,600W Thermal Expansion Dynamo T2: 240 RF/t = 3,200W Thermal Expansion Dynamo T3: 480 RF/t = 6,400W

Maximum Conversion Values

• 50V - 75RF/t - 30EU/t - 752OC/t
• 200V - 150RF/t - 60EU/t - 1503OC/t
• 800V - 375RF/t - 150EU/t - 3759OC/t

Fun Fact

Nominally, the largest amount of ELN power that can be converted from a powerline is 8,000RF/t. It will take 12 800V converters at max power, 4 poles all delivering VHV and a VERY good power supply capable of handling the 60,000W load.
