To calculate the amperage current, you can use the formula: Amperes = Watts / Volts. In this case, it would be 10,000 Watts (10 KW) / 220 Volts = 45.45 Amperes. Therefore, the central air conditioner would use approximately 45.45 Amperes while running.

Is amperage rating and running amperage the same thing?

Usually the current rating for a circuit is higher than the current usually taken. This leaves a little margin for safety.

What does LRA mean in electrical terms?

Locked rotor amperage is the amperage the motor draws when the voltage is first applied to the motor and the rotor has not started to turn. This amperage is usually up to 300% of the motors running amperage. Once the rotor starts to turn the motor generates a back EMF (electro motive force) that opposes the high inrush current. This back EMF drives the amperage down until the motor gets up to its rated speed at which time the motor amperage will be at its run amperage.


Does running air conditioner affect battery?

If your alternator is putting out the required amperage, usually around 14, the A/C system, and all other systems, will run without any drain on the battery.
