You will need a test instrument known as a clamp on amp meter. The test instrument clamps around one of the A/C units feed conductors. From the meter face you will read what the actual current is flowing through the feeder conductor.

How many amps are sufficient for a 4700 square foot house?
Assuming it has the average appliances, heating and cooling systems, electrical outlets, etc, 200 amps should pull it, depending on the heat and air conditioning systems used. <<>> A 200 amp panel is the norm these days for an ordinary 2000 sq. ft. home. A home of 4700 sq. ft. would take a 400 amp service. Calculations on a house sometimes can be complicated, assuming standard equipment and all electric, I came up with a load of 218 amps. You could then use a 250 amp service. Use gas for heating and you could fall around the 200 amp size.

Can you use 10 AWG wire to run 6000 watts of light drawing 30 amps?
I'm assuming the electrical system is single phase, such as a home. If not, you need to hire someone to do the work for you. First, 6000 watts at 120v is 50 amps, so if your load is truly 6000 watts, 30 amps isn't enough. If your 6000 watts is 240v, which would draw 25 amps, then 30 amps is plenty. Ten gauge wire may not be placed an a breaker or fuse larger than 30 amps.
