Which wire can carry a higher current?

Answer. “In solid wire of same length resistance of that wire is higher than stranded wire”. Hence stranded wire carries more current than solid wire due to lower resistance. Thus due to extra surface area more surface current flows Therefore in stranded wire current flow is more.

How many amps does a 1.5 ton AC consume?

Circuit Breaker(MCB Trip) activates during operation.

Capacity	Current (AMP)	Breaker size
0.75 ton	5~6Amp	16 Amp
1.0 ton	6~7Amp	20 Amp
1.5 ton	8~10Amp	32Amp
2 ton	15~16Amp	40Amp

Is 2.5 mm wire enough for 2 ton AC?

3 Answers. 2.5mm^2 wire is good for 18A inside a wall, so you are limited by the 15A sockets. A 220V 15A socket can deliver 3.3kW, and even if the voltage drops to 180V it can still do 2.7kW. Your aircon requires 1.55kW so there is enough power available.

What size wire do I need for a 2 ton AC unit?

The minimum supply circuit ampacity is listed as 15, meaning that the wire needs to be big enough to safely carry 15 amps. That would normally be only 14 gauge copper wire. As you can see, we also need a circuit breaker somewhere from 20 amps to 25 amps.

Can I connect a 1.5 ton split AC with a 2.5 sq mm wire?

Can I connect a 1.5 ton split a.c. with a 2.5 sq mm wire? Yes a 2.5sqmm wire can be used. Earth wire also must be of 2.5sqmm don’t skip earthing.
