Number 8. Rated for 40 amps
To answer this question the voltage and amperage of the unit must be stated. Once this is given the generator size can be calculated.
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.
The size of wire to run to an outside condenser typically depends on the amperage of the unit and the distance from the power source. For most residential air conditioning systems, 10 to 12-gauge wire is common for units drawing 20 to 30 amps, respectively. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications and local electrical codes to ensure compliance and safety. Additionally, consider using a larger gauge wire for longer distances to prevent voltage drop.
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.
To answer this question the units amperage must be stated or calculated.
Sounds as if you capacitor is going bad or perhaps the contact is not pulling in i would check voltage on both sides of the contactor to verify this
The size of any unit is, by definition, 1.
Read the literature for the ac condensing unit, or the tag on the outside of the unit. Minimum circuit ampacity= minimum breaker, wire and fuse size. Maximum circuit ampacity= the maximum size. Your circuit breaker, wire size and disconnect fuses should all be at or between those 2 numbers.
Only if the outside unit is a heat pump.
you add the refrigerant in your outside unit but still is going to circulate to your inside unit doing a complete loop
Yes, the outside unit of a heat pump system is supposed to run when the heat is on.
Yes, the outside unit of a heating system typically runs when the heat is on to help transfer heat from the outside air to the inside of the building.
ouside HVAC unit
pushing
The purpose of the thermostat wires outside the AC unit is to connect the thermostat inside the building to the AC unit outside, allowing the thermostat to communicate with the AC unit and control its operation based on the desired temperature settings.
disconnect beside unit may have blown fuse or tripped breaker,contactor in outside unit may be bad,or no coolant in system
A unit was outside our house.
