Oxbox J5AC3030A1000 Air Conditioner Condenser 30000 Btu 2.5 Ton 13.4 SEER2 R-454B Single Phase

Product Description

The Oxbox J5AC3030A1000 is a 2.5-ton residential split-system air conditioner condenser rated at 30,000 BTU/h with a 13.4 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R-454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative that meets current DOE 2023 environmental compliance requirements. The unit runs on 208/230 volt single-phase 60 Hz power and draws 12.7 running load amps with a locked-rotor amp rating of 55.0. The outdoor fan is driven by an ECM motor, which contributes to improved part-load efficiency and quieter operation at 75 dB sound power level. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this unit as the outdoor half of a split cooling system.

This condenser is intended for residential and light-commercial split-system cooling applications. It pairs with a compatible indoor air handler or coil to form a complete cooling system. Oxbox, a Trane brand, positions the J5AC3 series as a DOE 2023 compliant product line designed for straightforward installation and serviceability. Confirmed compatible pairings documented in supplier sources include the Oxbox J5AH4P36A1B00 air handler. Consult the equipment submittal and system combination ratings table to verify matched-system SEER2 performance before finalizing any pairing.

Compatibility

Documented compatible indoor equipment includes the Oxbox J5AH4P36A1B00 air handler. This condenser is designed to be paired with a matched indoor coil or air handler; always verify the combination rating in the applicable AHRI directory to confirm system efficiency and capacity before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician certified to handle A2L refrigerants, as R-454B carries a mild flammability classification requiring adherence to updated handling and evacuation procedures. Shut off all power at the disconnect and verify lockout/tagout before making electrical or refrigerant connections. Minimum branch circuit ampacity is 17.6 amps and maximum branch circuit protection is specified in the equipment submittal; size overcurrent protection accordingly per NEC Article 440. Liquid line valve size is 3/8 inch and gas line valve size is 3/4 inch; use proper flare or brazed connections and leak-test the system before charging.
