Does anyone know what is the lowest AC voltage (120 VAC) our units AC will run on and not trip the breaker ? I just installed a 120 VAC 30 AMP receptacle for my BH. I plugged in, turned on the AC and it tripped the breaker in under 15 minutes. I think it's because of low voltage. Tomorrow I will put a digital VOM on the circuit. I had to stop today because I was getting heat goofy ! We are experiencing a terrific heat wave in the northest corrider of the US that is standard Texas weather. It hit 115 F in Newark NJ, 107 in NYC and 105 in NE Philly. The mezzanine over my shop in the barn pegged the T Mometer at 120 F ! We had 8 feet of snow last winter and a super heat wave now, so on the average we're just right... Anyway, if you know the voltage that will trip the 20 amp panel breaker for the AC it would help me tomorrow. Before I get heat goofy... Tom
