Data plate on the unit was missing. A 40 amp breaker was protecting unit, according to panel ledger. Most units max 30 or 35 amps, no? Anyone know for sure?
Thanks in advance. |

without the data plate, it would probably be imposible to know the max fuse requirement (and the age/size of the unit).
most AC units I see require anywhere from 20-40 amp protection. when I run into a missing data plate, I note it in the report. |

What about the air handler. It it probably going to be the same size. If it is a 4 or 5 ton unit many of them will have up to a 60 amp breaker especially with an older 10 SEER unit.
