Though your A/C is not likely to draw anywhere near 50 amps

continuously, it will have a very high initial startup current.



By using #6 wire the voltage drop should be minimal.

It's also minimal with #8 and the percent voltage drop difference
between #6 and #8 is insignificant. Which is why you can wire even a
5 ton AC with number #8.




I am sure you can but if the mfg says #6 I'd just go with what they say.
