SpwnX, thanks for the diagram. I made 2 networks, which stopped the blinking. Some of the MFSU's still didn;t charge, but I've changed the wring scheme quite a bit, and that is no longer a problem.
Thanks!

It's quite strange. I've set up the MFSU's to only take in power from the bottom (not input/output from sides or top). But adding a 2nd will sometimes make them all stop charging, and this is guaranteed to happen by the 4th. Similarly, after removing all the MFSU's, I will have to add/remove one several times before it finally starts charging.
Maybe IC is having trouble keeping up with the cabling system?
In the meantime, I've come up with a kludge. I'm just putting an MFSU on each generator bank, and will feed all of that to a trunk line for my machines.

I don't think so, its supposed to lose 1 EU per 40 blocks. I have at most ~120, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I've updated my original post for better clarity and pictures.

I've noticed that whenever I try to wire my generators to multiple MFSU's, the generators stop. The only way for me to charge multiple MFSU's is to have all my generator go to 1 MFSU, and then have the output from that one go to another MFSU and so on.
More info:
I have 6 banks of geothermal generators, each with 12 generators. All of them connect to a central glass fibre line that eventually divides back into 6 banks of 12 MFSU's each.
If I connect one MFSU to the trunk line, it works just fine, but if connect more than 2, the generators turn off.
For the banks of MFSU's I plan to have a cable under each MFSU to feed it, and a cable going from the output face back into the trunk line (which will also feed any machines that need it). -
CrafterOfMines57, thanks for the explanation; it makes sense now.

After reading the wiki article on cables and the thread on the new wiring system, I'm a little confused, since it seems they contradict one another.
I understand that cables can only withstand up to a certain amount of voltage (glass is best at 512). But are they also limited to the amount they carry? For example, could I theoretically connect n-amount of generators to a cable, and not worry as long as each generator is <= the voltage of the cable; or do they add up?
