That means it needs 27 amps to power the whole AC unit. That is, in comparison, higher amperage than it's needed to power an 18,000 BTU portable air conditioner (about 13-19 amps).
How many watts does a 18000 BTU Mini Split use?
Mini-Split AC Unit Capacity (in BTU): Power Draw (in Watts):
------------------------------------- ----------------------
9,000 BTU (0.75 tons) 750 watts
12,000 BTU (1 ton) 1,000 watts
18,000 BTU (1.5 tons) 1,500 watts
24,000 BTU (2 tons) 2,000 watts
Typically, you will need between 15 and 45 amps per mini split. That is about 110 to 120 volts on the low end and 208 to 240 volts on the higher end. Anything that runs on amps must have a circuit to prevent amp overload.
