What's needed?
Voltage transformers scale AC voltage up or down in a circuit, correspondingly scaling current down or up, ideally not affecting power.
Therefore, in circuits like component_a -> voltage_transformer_b -> fuse_c, the current at component_a cannot just be limited to the rating of fuse_c. If voltage_transformer_b were to scale the voltage down, the current flowing through fuse_c would surpass what's initially exiting component_a, potentially causing fuse_c to trip/break.
Proposed solution
The scaling effect of voltage_transformer_b needs to be taken into account. To achieve this, voltage transformers must be introduced as a new component category, so that they can be added to the component graphs of microgrids.
