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.

How much current does 130 ton ac unit draw?

The current draw of a 130-ton AC unit can vary based on its efficiency and design, but a rough estimate would be around 200 to 250 amps for a typical unit at full load. To calculate the exact current, you can use the formula: Current (Amps) = Power (Watts) / Voltage (Volts). For commercial units, the voltage is often around 480 volts. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for precise values.
