Wouldn't that come to 12,480w for single and 12,250w for 3ph?
The nameplate rating is at 0.8pf though, at 1.0pf its 12,250w. According to what I was able to look up his HVAC uses resistive heating which is 1.0pf. (minus a smidge for the blower fan)
Actually I would be more concerned with the 10,650w in cooling mode because that would have a lower pf, I...
But according to my calculations we would be pretty much at "nameplate rating" +/- 5%, and as far as I understand these units being "Prime Power" should be able to put out 100% continuously with no issue.
I would also like to mention again the 100% should be very inconsistent from his HVAC...
Yes I totally agree with this statementm my write up is pretty much about your needs right now not possible future loads.
Though I still think your main load would be inconsistent enough that even another 1000w wouldn't really be a problem, just that you couldn't run that off the convenience...
