Does air conditioning consume little?

Hello, I just just measured for a minute how many amps passed through a cable of a Panasonic air conditioner (over 10 years old I imagine) and never exceeded 3a. Are there air conditioners that consume so little? Or what could have happened? Regards!

To reason it would be necessary to know what voltage you use, if when you measured it was cooling, circulating air or heating, because as time, there are many variables to guess. luck

It can be according to the capacity and type of air, for example, we know that an inverter equipment lowers consumption as the environment acclimatizes,
or it may be that the consumption is low due to a problem ... you should give more details

I am in Buenos Aires with a temperature of approximately 13 °, within the department must do a couple of degrees more, not more.
I measured it as soon as I turned it on for a minute, and put it on so that it could blow cold air.
I don't think it's an investor because he's over 10 years old.

I just installed 10 years ago inverter.
It would be necessary to measure pressures .... with 13 ° being r22 the pressure should be at about 45 PSI ...
it may be that the compressor does not compress well, that it lacks gas, problems in the inverting valve etc, if it is cold heat, try it on heating to see how much it consumes

alapa . Hello: just if you are in Bs.As. or wherever, at 13 ° C. no conditioner is going to run the compressor, unless you put it to heat or bypass the thermostat to cool, which you don't say you did, therefore just walked the fan, and that's less than a third of the power consumption .

At 13 degrees of ambient temperature the compressor does not start, unless you set the selector live, to the maximum. And that the thermostat model has that option.

Exactly Roberto, the fan consumes very little.

friend, the safest thing is that when the measurement is done, the compressor is not started, this because it needs a reasonable time for it to be activated by the operation of the starting capacitor and as data that you are contributing in terms of the ambient temperature in factor fundamental so that the compressor does not start instantly.

When I turned on the air it was set at 26 ° and I average 0a, then I lowered it to 18 ° and there I heard it started, but only half 3a.
Thats weird.

it is likely that the starting capacitor is not sending enough power to start the compressor

Looking at the air more closely I see a label that says that it consumes 6a, assuming that at some point I get to consume those 6a, is it necessary to put the air in a separate circuit?

amig that is the measurement that you have to give when the equipment is in the correct operation, if it is 6 amp the safest your equipment is 10 or 12 btu and it is recommended to go on circuits you should be alone without any other type of Load for your best performance and care of drivers and breker in use, we are here to serve you
