    Power supply for a 5kW (14.6A) multi outdoor A/C - is a dedicated circuit required?

    Ok thanks. FWIW I think binky's point is right, the spur current (and fuse) can be up to 20A particularly if the appliance isn't expected to use this much current for long periods.

    The MI shows a 20A fuse in the circuit diagram. The model specs also list currents with Minimum Circuit Ampere at 15.8A. But starting and running current of ~4.5-6A

    If Daikin’s design document says it uses <10A peak, and 5A median. Then a 13A spur off the ring is within the regs, right?

    And to add to this, this is my 9kW AC yesterday - it spent the whole day significantly below 1kW

    And more specifically is there a rule that says this must not be done, or is it left up to electrician engineering judgement?

    Power supply for a 5kW (14.6A) multi outdoor A/C - is a dedicated circuit required?

    Thanks, given the Daikin design manual says peak current for this config is <10Amp, would it be acceptable to put it behind a 13A fused spur, and if there are issues down the line then seek to create a dedicated 20A circuit?

    Power supply for a 5kW (14.6A) multi outdoor A/C - is a dedicated circuit required?

    Hi - My friend it looking at having an 2.2kW Electric (5.2kW heat) multisplit inverter-type AC installed. The unit spec has a max-current listed of 14.6A, and has 20A fuse (attached). The nominal running current for the unit is expected to be 5A, and the Daikin data sheet for his configuration...
