How many watts a 1.5 Ton split AC consumes

I have Orient 1.5 ton split air conditional , it consumes around 1800 watts when compressor is running.

I measured the amps using a clamp meter , reading was around 8 amps , so 8.02 X220 = 1764 Watts

  2. You can measure any appliance's consumption , different models have different prices starting from around 500/- , Once you know the watts being consumed you can estimate the bill.
