My 5k window AC draws 330 watts with the compressor on and 59 watts with the fan on high..
5000 BTUs is equivalent to 1465W, so not sure your A/C size that only uses 330W. :h
How many watts does a 5000 BTU AC use?
On average, a 5000 BTU air conditioner uses 450 to 500 Watts of power when it’s running. At 115 Volts, these units draw around 4 amps of current (around 40 amps at 12 Volts). However, some units that have a high EER (or CEER) rating of 12 or more, will use around 400 Watts of power.Mine uses 330 watts as measured by the Jackery 1000,other inverters could show different..
