I''m too stupid to understand Gregtech''s EU system.
Multiblocks, transformers, battery buffers may all take more than 1 amp, and there can be a few single block machines that do also (most notable is arc furnace). At some point, the source battery buffer can''t send enough power to feed all the machines. In gt5u, the number of amps a battery buffer can output depends on how many batteries are in it.
