The DC-DC Converter (previously known as the "Transfomer") is a device that can step voltage up and therefore lower amperage and vice versa. It is used everytime you need to connect devices or generators with a difference between their voltage to each other.
In Electrical Age the transformer works with DC voltage but in real life it works only with AC.
Behavior and usage
To use the DC-DC converter correctly you have to put a specified amount of wires on each winding and the Ferromagnetic Core.
There is primary and secondary winding but you can swap it. Each winding is marked with a green or yellow rectangle.
Transformer can multiply or divide voltage according to this formula :
Vsec = (Vpri · nsec) / npri
Vsec = Voltage at secondary winding
Vpri = Voltage at primary winding
nsec = Amount of wires in secondary winding
npri = Amount of wires in primary winding
Example
In this example the green winding has 1 Low Voltage Cable and voltage on it is 50V.
The yellow winding have 4 Medium Voltage Cables and according to above formula, the voltage will be 200V.
Vsec = (50V · 4) / 1 Vsec = 200V
