Good morning all, I have been tasked with data collection for the purposes of evaluating the feasibility for moving an industrial machining operation off of one system and onto a different system.

My current query is related to the fact that one of the systems is powered from two separate breakers, and the other is powered by a single breaker. What I want to know is if I can simply sum the demand data together at each point in time and then compare this summation to the data from the other system? For example:

Breaker A reports an electrical demand of 30.1 kW from 12:00-12:15, and breaker B reports an electrical demand of 32.9 kw from 12:00-12:15. Is the total demand for the machine from 12:00-12:15 simply the sum of these two values (63.0 kW).

Thanks in advance!
