3 ton,10 SEER
AWG #3 copper.
You need to first know the wattage of the motor and locked rotor current can be tested at a lab only
You need to check the compressor sticker or plate. If faded or unreadable try the installation paperwork/instructions. Typically you can search by the model number online to find it.
Amperage draw and length of run determine your answer. No one here can give you the correct response without both. Try searching the NEC or the Home Electric section of Wiki once you have this data.
not very well. a 4 ton system needs about 1600 cfm to provide it's full capacity of cooling. a 3 ton furnace puts out about 1200 cfm. in addition, the evap coil typically attached to the furnace needs to match the tonnage of the outdoor unit. so, the evap coil must be 4 tons. If you currently have a 3 ton furnace and evap coil, the system will not work, and you will most likely ruin the compressor in the outdoor unit.
You may be able to turn up the blower speed but you will probably still not get the appropriate cfm. You may be able to swap out the blower but you may run into problems with fitting the new one in place or the proper sizing of the return and supply duct work.
You can not do that. If it where the opposite it would work . But you will frezze up with this matchup.
No easy answer with the information given. You might be able to increase the blower speed but that probable wont get you enough air anyways. You might be able change the blower depending on your furnace. Depending on the evaporator coil 3 or 5 ton you either wont remove the proper amount of moisture from the air(the biggest part of what makes you feel cool) or there will not be enough air blowing over the coil and it will freeze up. Technically could put a freeze switch to turn of the condenser. Most likely you will wear out the condenser quicker then it should.
Installing a 3 1/2 ton condenser on a 3 tr evaporator will not function properly. There isn't enough evaporator coil surface area to absorb heat and vaporize refrigerant liquid for its return back to the condenser compressor. What can be done is a 3 ton condenser unit with a 3 1/2 evaporator coil.
Yes it will. Typically a coil is sized a 1/2 ton larger than the a/c out side for efficiency, but a whole ton bigger should still work
Usually a 3 ton - 70,000btu furnace.
Yes it will. Typically a coil is sized a 1/2 ton larger than the a/c out side for efficiency, but a whole ton bigger should still work
No, it is not recommended to pair a 5 ton coil and furnace with a 3 ton compressor. The sizes need to be compatible for the system to operate efficiently and effectively. Mismatched components can lead to performance issues and potential damage to the system.
3 TON
It is not recommended to pair a 3-ton coil with a 3.5-ton condenser. Mismatched components can lead to decreased efficiency, poor performance, and potentially even damage to the system. It is best to use matching components for optimal operation.
3.5 ton NO! its a 3-TON!!!
