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 ton of refrigeration is equal to the cooling power of one short ton (2000 pounds or 907 kilograms) of ice melting in a 24-hour period. The value is defined as 12,000 BTU per hour, or 3517 watts. A 2-ton ac represents 7034 watts of power, but a practical unit would require more electrical power than that, maybe 10 kW to be safe.

Will a 16kw generator run a 2200sq ft house with a 5 ton ac unit?

A 16 kW generator can typically power a 2,200 sq ft house, including a 5-ton AC unit, but it depends on the total wattage of other appliances and systems running simultaneously. A 5-ton AC unit may require around 3,000 to 5,000 watts to start and around 2,000 to 3,000 watts to run continuously. It's crucial to calculate the combined wattage of all devices to ensure the generator can handle the load without overloading. Consulting the generator's specifications and performing a detailed load analysis is recommended for optimal performance.
