Question:
can 30 amp power 14500 dual zone with soft starts
asked by: Robert F
Expert Reply:
Your question asked if 30-amp service would run two 14,500 BTU air conditioners, but you referenced Furrion # FR67FJ air conditioners which are 15,500 BTU's each.The 15.5K units draw 15.4 amps each when running - so that will not work.
The Furrion # FR37FJ air conditioners are 13,500 BTU
The 13.5K units draw 15.4 amps each when running. That will not work either.
You could consider the Atwood # AT15027-22 air conditioner that is13,500 BTU
This 13.5K unit only draws 11.3 amps each when running. However, these units do not have soft start capacitors, so they would spike at startup. Not ideal.
As you can see, a trailer with 30 amp service does not usually have 2 airconditioners. If you did get smallest ones running, you could not use other high draw appliances like microwaves, water heaters, electric griddles, etc.
I would recommend a single Furrion # FR55PV air conditoner system complete that produces 15,000 BTU's of cooling power which will serve most travel trailers very well. If you have some other application, just email me back details for a refined recommendation.
