I have two Quantum Networks from Applied Energistics (so, a single bridge) that I'm trying to set up. They, according to the wiki, take 40 MJ/t to power each. I have an MFR tree farm set up with 2 boilers and 36 Industrial Steam Engines, outputting 8 MJ/t a piece, making a grand total of 288 MJ/t. I'm using Energy Tesseracts to power the networks, which cut down to 75%(?) transfer, and can send a max of 100 MJ/t each. So even receiving 75 MJ/t, the bridges should have no issue with receiving the required 40 MJ/t. When one bridge is hooked up, the light stays on no problem, but connecting the second causes the networks to flash on and off. Am I not getting the required MJ from my farm? If so, what can I do to do so?

Are both sides of the Quantum Bridge loaded?
Is only one ME Controller connected?
Is the ME Controller receiving enough power?

Other than that, I don't know. I'm not too experienced in AE than I should be.

Something I thought was the bridges had to receive power directly, not from within the controller

the power also needs to be send into one of the sides of the bridge thingy, rather than one of the diagonals. Pictures?

Oh, of course. The bridge needs it's own direct power. But I do remember that if you link a new network together with a bridge, the ME Controller will use more power because the network becomes bigger.

Sorry about the delay, got busy all of a sudden. Here are the pictures requested:http://imgur.com/a/AirBZ
Like I said, connecting one to power works fine, connecting both flashes, which leads me to believe I'm not getting enough power to them

EDIT: I think I might have solved my issue, I was originally splitting one energy tesseract sending from my boiler room into the two I put on each network bridge. After creating a seperate frequency per bridge's tesseracts (by putting a second outgoing tesseract with my boilers), they both stay on no issue. Perhaps the energy through one tesseract into two was throttled too much? Anyways, thank you for your help once more forums, you guys are awesome.

Hmm...

Well, I can't seem to see anything wrong, but I'm not really experienced in this stuff.

I'm going to try to replicate this in my FTB when I get back home. If someone else is able to she'd some light on this, then great, but I'll see what I can do in the meantime.

Edit: Glad you found the issue and fixed it!

Yes the maximum output of the sending tesseracts is limited to the same despite how many recieving tesseracts you got.
