Power Consumption of a 24000 BTU Air Conditioner
Power consumption depends on various factors:
- Thermal load of the space.
- Outdoor ambient temperature.
- Usage time after turning on the unit.
- System efficiency.
Average Amperage for Conventional (ON/OFF) Units:
Single-Phase 24000 BTU (6000 Cooling Capacity):
| Voltage | 110V | 120V | 220V | 240V |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amperage | 21.31A | 19.54A | 10.65A | 9.76A |
Three-Phase (Non-Inverter):
| Voltage | 208V | 380V | 400V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amperage | 8.14A | 4.45A | 4.24A |
Power Consumption of Modern Units (INVERTER):
The consumption of these units depends on the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), which measures the efficiency of the equipment under varying conditions.
Classification by SEER:
| Efficiency Rating | SEER |
|---|---|
| A+++ | >22 |
| A++ | 20-21 |
| A+ | 18-19 |
| A | 15-17 |
| B-C | <11.5 |
Average Power by SEER for 24000 BTU:
| SEER | Power (W) |
|---|---|
| 10 | 2400 W |
| 15 | 1600 W |
| 20 | 1200 W |
| 25 | 960 W |
Amperage vs. Power vs. Voltage Table:
Single-Phase (PH1):
| Power (W) | 110V | 220V | 230V |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1200 | 15.15A | 7.58A | 7.25A |
| 1600 | 20.20A | 10.10A | 9.66A |
Three-Phase (PH3):
| Power (W) | 220V | 380V | 400V |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1200 | 4.38A | 2.54A | 2.41A |
| 1600 | 5.84A | 3.38A | 3.21A |
Practical Example:
A 24000 BTU air conditioner with a SEER of 15 has an average power consumption of 1600 W. For a single-phase connection of 220V, the amperage consumption would be 10.10 A, as shown in the table above.
