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.
Yes, you can replace a 3.5 ton condenser with a 4 ton condenser as long as the existing system can accommodate the higher capacity. It's important to ensure that the new condenser is compatible with the existing components, including the evaporator coil and air handler, to maintain the system's efficiency and performance. We recommend consulting with a professional HVAC technician to ensure a proper fit and installation.
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.
There are 32,000 ounces in a ton.
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!!!

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.
how do you replace an air condition condenser step by step on a 1996 Chevrolet silverado 1 ton dually?
