I can't comment on all these new electronic (GFCI/AFCI, etc.) breakers but old time breakers had a trip curve (e.g.: https://www.electriciantalk.com/attachments/type-b-jpg.52369/). The breaker was guaranteed to trip just above the rated current but only after hundreds or thousands of seconds. On

The running amps are around 7-8. But the starting amps are (very briefly) 47 plus whatever the fan draws. I'm not surprised that a 20A time delay breaker can handle it, but it seems the 15A fast blow isn't as instant as I might have assumed it to be. On 2021-07-31 22:43, Allan Streib via

What is the error tolerance on the Ampere rating on a circuit breaker? Maybe your 15A breaker is allowing a little more than that, and the recommeded 20 assumes that the actual breaker might trip a little lower. There must be a little headroom on the required rating, so that people don't

Just off the cuff I would suspect it could run a couple of them without too much effort. You would need to determine what the code letter of the compressor motor is to get an accurate idea. This would apply especially if they don’t start simultaneously, which might be a bit much even for a 15kW
