After some testing, this is how the transformers work:

A Low Voltage Transformer can take in 128 EU a tick (TOTAL) and can Output 128 EU a tick in the form of Low Voltage packets (4 x 32 Packets or 8 X 16 Packets, etc).

This means that for each step down, if you want to convert all of the power to the lower voltage, you need four transformers (assuming full EU packets). As each MFE can output 128 each, you will want one low voltage transformer for each (accordinly, 1 Medium Voltage transformer per MFSU).

To generate 512 of consistant low-voltage power useage:

2 High voltage solar arrays

1 MFSU (so 512 consistant power output, storing daytime power)

1 Medium Voltage Transformer

4 Low Voltage Transformers

Practical considerations: Most low voltage machines take 1-10 EU a tick. One low voltage transformer can power a large factory of tier 2 machines. Just watch out if you use energy links, which will chew through your available power quickly.

(Personaly I hook up batboxes to energy links to cap their usage to 32 EU a tick).
