I am getting wiring done by an electrician for a ductless split AC system and for the condensor, this is the spec from the manufacturer.
It specs ~19A @ 208V with the voltage drop taken into account for all evaps operating, but only calls for a max breaker size of 20A.
I have two questions:
1. At startup, would the transients cause the breaker to trip even if its momentary?
2. Operating with all indoor evaps "ON", and drawing ~19A, there is only a 5% derating factor, I would be happy with at least 20%, are my assumptions incorrect? Should I have him run a 25A or 30A wire instead?
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
