Most 240 v units have high amp draw at startup. A 3 ton unit will draw 10kw at start and 75 amps. Once up it still pulls 15 amps. If you run at 480 volts it would 22 amps at start and 4 amps constant running. However I don't know any homeowners running 480. Bottom line you gotta have the startup amps.
