You can't shout down a troll.
You have to starve them.
.

simple answer to you is NO you can not combine,
however? yes you can change circuit breaker to higher amperage,
that is? If you main source main supply can handle it,
your contractor should be able tell you that.
Bit of advice don't cheat on power supply and
specially if you are in area where power is always
some what low to start with.
good luck from Dido

Hmmm....can you expand on that thought?
How do you "cheat on power supply"?
And where do you find areas where power supplies that are "low to start
with"?
