And how much current does this AC unit draw, steady state? And how
long will it run on the hottest day of the year, in the hottest year
in 10 years???

If it draws much over 15amps the seer would be so low you could not
even install it in any state with an energy code.
How many BTUs is the unit? If it is a high BTU unit, the seer could
still be pretty good with over 25 amps of current draw.

Regardless - the OP clearly stated the installation instructions
specified #6 cable and a 50 amp breaker. He also stated it requires a
"minimum ampacity" of 26 amps.

That is all we KNOW.

Do we have the manufacturer and model number of this "mythical
beast"???
