A typical 5 ton AC with an EER of 12 will use about 5KWHr per hour of use. At 240VAC, that would be an average draw of a bit more than 20 Amps. The peak draw would be somewhat higher than that and would vary quite a bit with age, condition, and quality of the equipment. It is most likely equipped with 40 A, 50 A or even 60A breakers.

That equipment will cost between 50 cents and $1.50 per hour of usage depending on electric costs where you live.

A 5-ton air conditioner typically draws around 30-50 amps of current when running. The exact amount can vary depending on the specific model and efficiency rating of the unit. It's important to consult the manufacturer's specifications or an electrician for precise information.

What is the relation of ac and DC?

DC is direct current, a steady current supplied from a steady voltage. AC is alternating current changing like a sine-wave positive and negative, with the advantage that it can be changed by transformers. DC can be derived from AC by rectification and smoothing circuits, which are built into equipments which draw their power (AC) from public electricity suppliers.
