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.
