Not necessarily!  On MORNING STAR we have two 30 amp recompiles.  One is for
the house panel and one is for the air conditioning.  However, our air
conditioner panel is wired such that we can "rob" from the house panel to run
the air conditioner if need be, which is how we usually do it.  This does
require a bit more power management.
