Wiring 2 Infrared heaters from one circuit

[dreyfuss16]

Im installing two infrared heaters, each with its own starter (timer, thermostat, relay, etc). My plan is to run one circuit through a splitter, then into 2 fused disconnect switches, one for each starter. Does it make sense to have both disconnects powered by the same circuit??

Yes, it can make sense if the total current draw stays within the circuit's capacity, just be sure each heater is properly fused, and confirm your breaker can handle the combined load.

Got it! Do you know if the breaker's rating includes any safety margin for continuous loads, or should i size the combined load even lower just to be safe?
