Using Transformers
==Using Transformers==
You have one more tool to manage your electrical network: The Transformer Station . The Transformer Station allows you to manually break the circuit to disconnect an industry or part of your network, without having to actually erase any poles.<br>

<br>If you place the transformer at particular industry or within the whole branch of power lines, you can manually disconnect that industry or the whole branch from the network. The practical use is (for example) if you are at maximum network capacity and you need to connect two different coal mines, you can connect one and when the storage at that mine is full, flip the switch and connect the other one to fill up its storage. There are many different scenarios, where you might find handy disconnecting the whole branch of your network. <br> Just place the transformer in place of regular pole at desired location, there is button in the info window to connect/disconnect the power line. Of course, if you feel you have your hands full just managing your train network, and feel manual load balancing of your electrical network is too much, just don't build any Transformer Stations.<br>

The transformer disconnected sign is always visible, even in 3D mode, so you can always see its status without the need to open the building.
