LV ones are cheaper, but can only accept 32 MJ/t (3 combustion engines (running on fuel)+2 steam engines, 32 steam engines wired together, or 640 redstone engines (with no loss, you would acctually need teleporting power, wich makes this VERY expensive, as teleport pipes need one diamond per pipe. redstone engines are, however not consuming anything. so over a very long time you will take profit of this.). they output 32 EU/t, so it can directly be send to ALL machines

MV ones are the next tier. they are more expensive, but they can take 120MJ/t (12 combustion engines running on fuel. I won't give the other possibilities, it's too much work.) they output 120 EU/t, so you need gold wire, and to feed it into basic machines or a batbox, an LV transformer.

the next tier up is the HV one. these can take 510 MJ/t (51 combustion engines running on fuel) and output 510 EU/t.
