Air conditioning systems are characterized by having a relatively high consumption. For this reason, they must be considered as individual elements within the circuit and for their correct electrical protection a particular branch is derived for their supply.
This is important because if we make the mistake of plugging the appliance into any outlet that we have nearby, we run the following risks:
a) We overload the outlet circuit, this can translate into trips of the thermal protection when other sockets are used with other appliances.
b) We are using a pre-existing circuit that was not calculated for these features, therefore, in the best of cases, only the thermal will jump.
c) By regulation and for convenience, it is necessary to be able to cut the power individually for maintenance and other needs.
