How many watts dose a 15000 btu rv ac use - Dometic 57915531 Air Conditioner

Yes they are repairable, I would take it to an shop that specializes in RV's and motorhomes.

Check the condensor unit. May be dusty. Clean it. If still problem replace capacitor.

It can but you are not going to do it off a single deep cycle battery, You will need to have some robust batteries to sustain it. But that will almost need to be the only thing on that inverter.

It might be better to spend a little more and get the Air conditioner that can operate on 12 volts or 120 with the flip of a switch.

Look at the data panel for the 15,000 BTU AC. It's current rating should be right around 12 Amps at 120VAC. Which is 1440 Watts. Startup is when there could be a problem. Especially when the compressor approaches a near lockup condition. Current draw can be double that of normal operation Even though it is within the surge rating of the inverter- the batteries have to be at their peak at all times.

According to specs, they will take a 44 amp AC power surge. Obviously number and type of batteries as well as battery condition , etc, plugged in, not plugged in to outside hydro, or generator all come in to play here, but a 15,000 BTU roof AC will only draw, 15-17Amps AC when compressor kicking in, ( or less on some new models) and should level out at 12 -13 amp draw after. As well, this will depend on proper wiring to and from main panel as well as AC unit, and incoming voltage, AC unit condition ( cleaned and maintained properly) etc.

Hello, I have the same exact generator, 2400 Yamaha. It works fine for my Ac, and then some. After it first kicks on, is the biggest surge. Then I have even after ac is running, I have had tv on and even used microwave. But as far as running you ac on your rv , not problem. I do it all the time. Mine is ulta quite, and 8 to ten hours run time on about a gallon of fuel. Mike

For an RV 15000 BTU air conditioner the size being maximum for 115 volts ac you will need to have a independent circuit breaker for it only and rated at 20 amps. The average amps depends on serveral factors like actual supply voltage somtimes 110 to 120 volts and wire size and length feeding the air conditioner. To answer your question the average Amps will be near 13 Amps. Click Here=>

15,000 BTU stating current 18 to 20 amphs. And running amphs will be around 6.5 to 7 amphs.

If it's the pencil type, it just pokes into the fins (carefully)
If you look real close with flashlight you should be able to see where it poked in before, usually a couple of inches up from bottom. If it's the little round disc, it snaps in down in bottom corner, there should be a small hole for it in the frame.

Your choices are another Dometic or a Coleman
I prefer the Coleman But the amount of extra cooling you will get by stepping up to a 15K unit will probability not be worth the added cost

59516 is a Brisk Air 15000 BTU.
Thanks for using Fixya
