To determine the appropriate breaker size for a 15-ton rooftop unit (R.T.U.), you typically use a rule of thumb that suggests sizing the breaker based on the unit's full load amperage (FLA). A 15-ton unit generally has an FLA of around 60-75 amps, depending on its specific efficiency ratings and electrical specifications. Therefore, a breaker size of 80 amps is commonly recommended to accommodate starting currents and ensure proper protection. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications and local electrical codes for precise sizing.
The wiring to the unit is either not on the right type of breaker switch or the unit is not hooked up directly to the breaker box at all.
The breaker you use is determined by the size of the wire in the wall not by what is being connected to that circuit. If you have 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. If you have 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. The breaker protects the wiring not the item connected.
You should not have to calculate the watts of the unit. All the information that you need will be on the nameplate of the unit. It is this information that electricians use to calculate the conductor size and breaker to supply the power to the unit.
Depending upon what type of "unit", you would want at least an 85-amp breaker, and the next standard size would be 90 amps. You might use an 80, depending upon the duty cycle of the unit, but the 90 will be required for constant use.

It really depends on usage, but a good rule of thumb is once yearly.

The appropriate mini split breaker size for your air conditioning unit depends on the unit's electrical requirements. It is recommended to consult the unit's specifications or an electrician to determine the correct breaker size for safe and efficient operation.

There is no reset button on a central air unit, there is a small breaker or fuse box outside next to the unit, it is possible the fuse is blown or breaker tripped.
If the breaker only trips once a week you may have a bad breaker or the breaker may not be large enough for your A/C unit. You should also have an electrician look for any loose connections from the unit to the breaker panel. (It is not uncommon to have a bad breaker)
No, a residential condo does not require a main breaker in each unit. Typically, the main breaker is located in the electrical room or utility room of the building, and it controls the power supply to all the units. Each unit may have individual circuit breakers, but a main breaker is not required in each unit.
The wiring to the unit is either not on the right type of breaker switch or the unit is not hooked up directly to the breaker box at all.
A breaker for an AC unit is a safety device that protects the unit from electrical overload. It automatically shuts off the power supply to the AC unit if there is a surge in electricity, preventing damage to the unit and reducing the risk of fire.
