A 16 SEER 3-ton condenser typically draws around 15-20 amps during normal operation. However, the exact amperage can vary depending on factors such as the efficiency of the unit and the specific operating conditions.
Read the tag on the condenser, it will be noted as LRA. Be sure to check the LRA for the fan as well and add them together for the total. If it is not listed on the tag it will certainly be listed seperately on both the compressor and the fan motor. LRA = Locked Rotor Amps.
To determine the amps for a 1 ton cooling unit at 480 Volts, you would need to know the power rating of the unit in Watts. Once you have the Watts, you can use the formula Amps = Watts/Volts to calculate the amperage.
That depends on 1) what indoor coil you have, 2) is the ductwork adequate to support 4 tons and 3) if the indoor coil and ductwork are suitable does the blower have the capacity to support 4 tons or 1600 cfm? If so it must be sped up.
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.
A 2.5-ton mini split typically has a cooling capacity of about 30,000 BTUs. The amperage draw can vary based on the unit's efficiency and specific model, but it generally ranges from 10 to 15 amps during operation. It's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amperage requirements and ensure proper electrical wiring is used for safe operation.
depends on run load amps. on the outside condenser it will tell you on the spec plate max size fuse.
3 ton split condenser
1.5 ton evaporator
Installing a 3 1/2 ton condenser on a 3 tr evaporator will not function properly. There isn't enough evaporator coil surface area to absorb heat and vaporize refrigerant liquid for its return back to the condenser compressor. What can be done is a 3 ton condenser unit with a 3 1/2 evaporator coil.
A 2-ton air conditioner typically contains around 4-5 pounds of R22 refrigerant.

You have to check the label on the unit itself. It will give you all the information as far as maximum and minimum amps.

3.5 ton NO! its a 3-TON!!!

yes it can. you can you can only downsize a coil by .5 tons or up .the flowrator piston have to be be changed according the the condenser size don't ever try to go more than1/2 ton it would damage the system.
3 TON
