You need the EER rating, that will let you calculate the power used. EER is a measure of efficiency, power input versus power output.

The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of a particular cooling device is the ratio of output cooling (in Btu/hr) to input electrical power (in Watts) at a given operating point (indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity conditions).

one ton HVAC capacity = 12,000 BTU/hour = 3500 watts

so if the EER is 10, then input power is 12000/10 = 1200 watts

Current used, if this is a 240 volt system, is 1200/240 = 5 amps

Another similar rating is COP (Coefficient of power) which is the output power in watts (instead of BTU/h) divided by input power, so with a COD = 3, for example, input power is 3500 /3 = 1200 watts.

How many amps does a 2 ton 14 SEER Trane AC draw at startup and running?

The answer you are looking for is on the condensing unit tag. It`s listed as FLA or (full load amps) or RLA (running load amps). Start up amps are appx 5 to 6 times this # but this current is only drawn very briefly. Be sure to add both the compressor and fan motor amperage to get total current draw of the unit. The control power is supplied by the indoor unit so that is not a factor.

1 ton of cooling at 480 Volts equals how many amps?

Convert tons to watts, divide by volts. P = I x E. Current = power / volts. 1 ton cooling = 3516.852842067 watts 3517 / 480 = 7.33 amps


5 ton ac how many watts?

Most 5 ton units require a 60 amp breaker at 240v. So assuming this as your upper limit the unit should draw no more than 14400watts or 14.4Kilowatts. Remember now this is the upper limit and I am sure the unit will draw something less than this since a system is never loaded to the full breaker size but each unit will vary and you need to check that unit for its individual consumption rate. Energy usage charts typically show about 5KWHr per hour as an average rate of usage for a 5 ton unit. That means it will cost you about 50 cents to a $1.50 per hour of operation in most parts of the US and much more in many other parts of the world.

How many amps for 12000 btu?

The Amps means the volume of flow of electricity. The Amps depends on its BTU (British Thermal Unit). BTU is the unit to measure the energy that is consumed to perform some Air Conditioner. 12000 BTU Air conditioners uses 5 to 6 Amps. 18000 BTU Air conditioners uses 9 to 10 Amps. 12000 BTU air conditioners also called 1 Ton AIR CONDITIONER and 18000 BTU Air conditioners are called 1.5 Ton and so on. The 2 Ton or 24000 BTU Air conditioners use 15 Amps to work.
