Want this question answered?
The IRC states that an AC unit should have "A readly accessable disconnect within sight from unit as the only allowable means".
If it is a swamp cooler no if it is a condensing unit then yes. In sight is described as being within 50 feet with clear visibility
Because that's what it was designed to do
I think that would have to be some relay or contactor coil for a fan, compressor or relay contacts.
It means that the 240 volts is connected directly to the device rather than being connected through an outlet. In some cases an electric box may be wired between the power supply and device and could contain fuses, breakers or a disconnect of some type. For example if you have an outside air conditioner there should be a disconnect box on a wall near the unit. The unit would still be considered to be hard-wired.
The definative answer to this question should be located in the NEC, but I would say within sight and reach of the condensing unit.

A condensing unit should not wobble. If it does wobble, it can lead to issues such as broken lines. It could also cause the compressor to stop working.
It does Not effect on the operation of a condensing unit
Stress on the refrigerant lines
It depends on where you live. Max rate is 90 an hour plus parts. A res. condensing unit up to 5 tons should be about 1500.
just the condensing unit roughly 1500to2000

condensing unit, elecric panel, electrical service enterance, grounding rod
Check the capacitor located inside the outside condensing unit,usually the fan,compressor are wired together,if one is running the other should be running
2.5 ton should do it
Allow any accumulated water to evenly run out of the cabinet
