Hi,
Looking at the spec. of the unit, 20Amp breaker with 2-12 wire is proper.
Too big a breaker won't give good protection. When it supposes to trip
it won't.
Frigidaire makes thousands of ACs every day so the fact that they call for a
30A breaker is silly, right?
Hmm,
Even my 3.5 ton ODU is working on 20Amp with 2-12 wires.
