Is it possible to run two 1 ton 5 star inverter ACs simultaneously with a 2.5 KW single-phase load capacity?

hmmm not recommended WILL CAUSE FIRE LOL (DONT DO IT)

since 1 ton approximately takes 1kWh to 1.5KWh

so assuming that even if we take the 1kWh (which we shouldn't as we have to use only max/peek not average)

but still lets take 1kWh 

then 2x 1 ton will take 2kWh if run simultaneously at the same time (max is 3kWh which is what we should take in truth)



and your limit is 2.5KW in the single phase line (dont forget other light, TV and mixer grinder at home)

your 2 x 1ton ac needs 2kWh if we take average and remaining 0.5 is left which wont be enough for other light, tv.. etc stuffs at home and (we need to give some tolerance of 10% atleast minimum to be safe usually)

so it will fry your lines and create fire lol

so avoid this


Side note: I am not expert but still this is just basic electrical calculation, even with this basic calculation , i can figure that it will fry lines at your home:) avoid this at all cost

does one also need to take the amperage into account?

comment FULLY redacted, as I feel @DeepanGeorge or others too could have got better feedback from the OP.
Presently, it feels like a waste of one's effort, due to lack of proper responses.

yes true wiring gauge and amps plays a major role 



and more dangerous in electricity is drawing more power than what the source gives, its fire for sure


source is 2.5kWH and 2 AC drawing around 2kWH (load) is hell of a load:)  at not peak usage itself


it will surely fire xD when the AC units hit peak load at summer 1.00pm heat, which will hit 3kWH (load) at that moment it wont able to draw from 2.5kWh (source) and the mains will melt and fire will happen at the meter box itself

@siddharthshah.exe -- In a simple language, sum of wattage of all the appliances that you are running at the same time is more than 2.5 kW, then you need a three-phase connection.

Example: Diakin MTKM35UV16W 1Ton 5 star (2023) rated inverter AC. Its rated wattage is 196-1150 W (Min-Max). So, if you install and run two of these at max cooling they will need 1150x2 = 2350W or 2.35kW and if you have nothing else 'ON' in your house, you should be able to run both 1Ton AC's at the same time.

One of my ACs has an Input wattage of 990W.
Both of my ACs are 1 ton 5 Star Inverter AC with the latest 2023-24 model.
