A 3.5-ton air conditioning unit typically draws around 3,500 to 4,200 watts when in operation, depending on its efficiency and specific model. The power consumption can vary based on factors like the unit's energy efficiency ratio (EER) or seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). Additionally, startup currents may be higher, temporarily increasing wattage draw. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the most accurate information.
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.
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.
A half-ton air conditioner typically uses around 450-550 watts per hour while running. This can vary depending on the specific model and efficiency level of the unit.
A 4 ton AC unit typically requires around 5500-6000 watts to start up (starting watts) and around 2200-2500 watts to run (running watts). A 15000 watt generator should be able to handle the starting and running requirements of a 4 ton AC unit along with additional electrical loads. It's important to check the specific power requirements of your AC unit to ensure compatibility with the generator.
1 ton of refrigeration (TR) is equal to 3.517 kilowatts (kW) or approximately 3517 watts.
2500 w
3500
that is going to depend on the efficiency of the unit but in the neighborhood of 2000-3000 watts.
To run a 3.5-ton air conditioning unit, you typically need between 3,500 to 4,200 watts, depending on the unit's efficiency and specific power requirements. This calculation is based on the general rule that 1 ton of cooling capacity requires about 1,200 watts. Additionally, factors like the unit's Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) and the ambient temperature can influence the actual power consumption.

A watt is a unit of electrical energy. A ton is a measure of physical weight and a ton of lead weighs the same as a ton of feathers. Since the watt does not really have what we think of as "mass", I think the answer has to be "zero tons". I say this because I think a wire with a load of 1 watt or a million watts with weigh the same if measured with a scale.
at what voltage? 3 phase? that is a reasonably big unit, you really need to get the correct answer, refer to the manufactures data and get it right.
There is no such thing as a "cubic ton". There is the ton as a unit of mass (1 ton = 1000 kg), and there is the cubic meter, a unit of volume.
You have to check the label on the unit itself. It will give you all the information as far as maximum and minimum amps.
A 4 ton AC unit typically requires around 5500-6000 watts to start up (starting watts) and around 2200-2500 watts to run (running watts). A 15000 watt generator should be able to handle the starting and running requirements of a 4 ton AC unit along with additional electrical loads. It's important to check the specific power requirements of your AC unit to ensure compatibility with the generator.
