All GT Cables have a max Voltage, max Amperage and a Loss: Do note that packets can rebound. Even if the logical path that a packet dictates that EU should not travel in that direction, you should not take for granted that your cables will not have some stray EU packets travelling through them. For example a 32V package is sent trough a Tin Cable which has a loss of 1EU per block to a machine 8 blocks away. After 8 blocks of cables the 32V Package is down to 24V when it arrives at the machine. Should the machine need for example 30EU/t to operate. A second package sent in the same tick is needed every 4 Ticks. Thus a 2A supply is needed for the machine with this setup. Cable losses are applied to each EU Package, netting you a 2x power loss.
 * Cables that get packets higher than their maximum Voltage will catch fire and melt.
 * Cables that have more Amperes travelling through them than their maximum Amperage limit will catch fire and melt.
 * The loss of a cable is per Block a EU package travels.
