In this video we explain how and why we chose the wire size we did and the size of the disconnect. Hope you find the information useful. I read and respond to all comments.
Thank you for watching.

The minimum circuit ampacity is 35. Therefore, #10 AWG is not large enough to carry the full 35 amps. # 8 AWG is more expensive but is the right size conductor for this application. The maximum overcurrent device (circuit breaker) is 50 and should be sized accordingly. Obviously, the HVAC guy gave you bad information.

Hey electrician, Ron, good feedback.
The nameplate I used was off of a four head mini split that was existing on the house . 100% that is 35 A minimum circuit ampacity. I didn’t yet have the new mini split unit for the addition which was about half the size of the existing one. Now installed I should post what that nameplate was and I’m sure the number 10 wire has plenty of ampacity for it. It wasn’t clear in the video that the nameplate I was looking at was the existing unit not the one I was wiring for. I only use that nameplate because I didn’t have the new AC unit nameplate yet . But good and I appreciate you and the feedback!! 🙂
