1 Ton is equal to how much LRA?

as per my knowledge 1 ton = 36 LRA


What amps should a 5 ton rheem air conditioner pull when it starts?

Read the tag on the condenser, it will be noted as LRA. Be sure to check the LRA for the fan as well and add them together for the total. If it is not listed on the tag it will certainly be listed seperately on both the compressor and the fan motor. LRA = Locked Rotor Amps.


What is the zercomia polymorphism?

Zirconia, ZrO2, was synthesized by calcination of pure, sulfate-impregnated, and phosphate-impregnated Zr(OH)4 at different temperatures in the range from 600 to 1100°C for 5 h. Weight variant and invariant processes involved were monitored by thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The bulk structure and phase composition of the zirconias thus produced were characterized by X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared absorption spectroscopy and Raman scattering spectroscopy. The results have been correlated, so as to reveal the influence of the sulfate and phosphate additives on the zirconia polymorphic transitions as a function of temperature. Accordingly, phosphate species have been revealed to stabilize or influence stabilization of cubic-structured zirconia at temperatures as low as 600-900°C, where it is otherwise unstable. IR- and LRa-observed formation of Zr2P2O7 species (cubic-structured) is suggested to act as seed species for the stabilized cubic structure of zirconia. An analogous stabilizing influence was revealed for sulfate species, however, toward cubic and/or tetragonal zirconia, and functions within the thermal stability range of the sulfate (i.e. up to 720°C).


If my AC technician says my unit is rated at 28.9 amps and drawing 24.8 and should draw about half of rated capacity and that compressor needs to be replaced Is this correct?

There are several amperage ratings on AC compressors/motors. Locked Motor Amperage (LRA) is the amperage that the motor is fused for. The load of the motor is expressed in amperage or wattage, which is probably the case here. Low amperage readings on an AC unit being charged by amperage load would indicate low freon. High amperage readings indicate overcharge when charging by the amperage load. AC units are not accurately charged by amperage readings and the efficiency of motors is not expressed in amperage readings.


Generator size estimate for amps for a hot water system furnace with 1.0 amp water pump burner controls 8.5 amps ignitor valve 1.0 amp burner motor 10 FLA and 60 LRA furnace breaker on 15 amp circuit?

You add up all of the current draws, 1 + 8.5 + 1 + 10 = 20.5 amps. If you say that all of this load is on a 15 amp circuit then you must get a lot of tripping of the breaker. If the equipment was on a two pole 15 amp breaker then there would be no problem as the motor current would only be half and the rest of the equipment would operate on the three wire feeding this equipment's neutral. To over come the starting current of the motor, a factor of 250 % should be used. 10 x 250% = 25 amps. This type of load should be on a breaker of its own. A generator that will start and run this load should be 35.5 amps x 120 volts = 4260 watts. If like you say its is all on a 15 amp breaker then W = A x V = 15 x 120 = 1800 bare minimum.
