Some AC units require max. fuse or circuit breaker size of 25 amp. With 25 amp. disconnect fuses and #10 wire, is a 30 amp. breaker in the panel box acceptable?
Question #2: With an AC unit requiring max. fuse or circuit breaker size of 25 amp. is using 30 amp. disconnect fuses, #10 wire, and a 30 amp. breaker in the panel box acceptable? Thanks. |

No, the disconnects are generally not overcurrent proitection.
No, max size is 25 amp. Owl Home Inspections Rick Maday Itasca, IL Home Inspector Serving all Chicago Suburbs Schaumburg Home Inspector Naperville Home Inspector Lake County Home Inspector

Thanks Rick.
The reason for question #2 is I don't recall seeing any 25 amp. breakers. |
