How many watts does a 5,000 BTU 120V window unit air conditioner pull?
My air conditioner in my car isn’t working. I plan to get it fixed latter on, but for now, I have an AC inverter that can handle about 300 watts and 120 volts and I think I can come up with something to catch the water. So would it work or would the fan just come on and the compressor hum and blow the inverter?
it wont work. the inverter isnt big enough,but you can check by looking at the tag.second an ac removes heat from air. now where do you plan on exhausting the thing?if your just gonna throw it in the seat and run it, its going to reach around 130-160.see it absorbs the heat and moves it outside.now if your in the exhaust area, its only gonna recirc the air, while constantly adding more heat from the system.so its like blowing on a tea kettle trying to keep it boiling under med. heat.see it stands to reason, that the heat of electric load. plus the heat of compression,and heat transfer,will far outweigh the benefit of trying to remeove the heat from the cab.its kinda like continuing to trade in a vehicle you owe more on than its worth, sooner or later it will get to the point of tipping balance and not helping but hurting the situation.

A 1000W inverter may do it but, wouldn’t count on it.

A 5,000 BTU will pull about 1800 watts, and you’ll never find a DC inverter to handle that.
Also, the heat problem that is mentioned above.
Don’t apply for a job at NASA.
