You can see how this recipe will alternate between using 1 amp and 2 amps every tick. 3 generators would provide enough amperage for 2 LV Thermal Centrifuges to run 48 EU/t recipes simultaneously. Note that this only applies when cable loss is not considered (or when it is not present due to lossless cables); see the following section of this article for details about cable loss.
 
One final thing to note is, and this is somewhat confusing, the machine can accept the amperage displayed + 1 amps every tick. So machines can technically accept different quantities of amps per tick depending on which recipe is being run.
