Electric Current Issue Installing Toshiba Ras-24skpx In Hdb?

[kyan007 0]

Hi everyone,

I really need some help. Yesterday, I just install Sys 1 - Toshiba RAS-24SKPX in my home. I did rewiring to my HDB and fixed a 20 amp isolater for this air con. But, the 20 amp MCB Type-B tripped 2 twice intially. The air con man insist it's my current not enough and suggest to fix a 20 amp MCB Type-C. But, my electrician claim this is not allow in HDB. So, I need advice is this air con really need higher pulling current?

When the air con man by pass the MCB (direct current) the air con work fine. Then, he swap by using another 20 amp MCB Type-B and no issue. Finally, it put back to the original 20 amp MCB Type-B and no issue.

So, my second question was will there be any issue later? Is the compressor required more then 20 amp for initial start up? What should I do to ensure no issue using this air con?

I'm stress and given no option. Going to 20 amp MCB Type-C, I need to take my own risk because it's not allow to install in HDB but it resolve the air con issue.

Anyone here can help?

Thank you.

Just confirm with Toshiba - this aircon model required 20 amp MCB Type-C because the surge is around 75 ohm when the motor kick-in.

Therefore, please take note if anyone going to install this aircon.
