How much current will split AC consume?

The current consumption of a split AC unit depends on its cooling capacity, typically measured in BTUs, and its energy efficiency ratio (EER) or seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). On average, a split AC may consume between 5 to 15 amps, translating to approximately 600 to 2000 watts, depending on the model and operating conditions. To determine the exact current, you can refer to the unit's specifications or use the formula: Current (amps) = Power (watts) / Voltage (volts).
