Anyway, could you tell me where it says in the code that its ok to protect a 35 amp max fuse a/c unit with only a 30 amp breaker? Thanks.
I don't know where it is in the code, but I know you can size your breaker or fuse based on the mininum or maximum size as stated on the unit's nameplate. The choice is yours.
Lately, I have only dealt with high-efficiency units which have the same apacity for both the min. and max., usually only 20 amps.
