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.



I think I'm starting to detect a big part of the problem here. You've now
said that with your newsreader you can't go back and view previous posts.
Now you're asking how many BTUS is the unit? I've posted that about 6 times
recently. You also haven't replied to any of my posts. So, it's obvious you've set your newsreader to ignore my replies or else you're deliberately
avoiding them and God knows what else. You're flying in the dark.




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"???



Again, that was stated in previous posts. It's not all we know, because
at least Gfre and I have pulled up the actual spec sheet. For example, you've
asked "How much current does this draw?". The spec sheet clearly says the
RLA for the compressor is 19, the fan 1, the rated power input is 4600 Watts.
Again, I've posted that many times now, but you apparently don't give a damn
so you just ignore me and make an ass of yourself.
