Not necessarily, and that was my point. If you're connected to a 240VAC 30A circuit, there's no way to simultaneously fully power two 120V 20A circuits - to say nothing of yet another single 120V 10 amp circuit. (And remember, there is some inherent loss of power in the Equi-Tech transformer itself, because of heat.) That's why the design of the Equi-Tech just doesn't make sense to me.
