Oxbox J5AC3036A1000 Split System Air Conditioner Condenser 3 Ton 13.4 SEER2 R-454B Residential

Product Description

The Oxbox J5AC3036A1000 is a 3-ton residential split system air conditioner condenser rated at 13.4 SEER2 and designed to operate with R-454B (A2L) refrigerant. Running on 208/230-volt single-phase 60 Hz power, it delivers 36,000 BTU/h of cooling capacity through a microchannel outdoor coil paired with a propeller-style ECM fan motor rated at 1/3 HP and 930 RPM. Running load amperage is 16.1 amps with a locked rotor rating of 80.0 amps. The unit ships without a factory-installed hard-start kit or sound blanket. Licensed HVAC technicians install and commission this equipment as part of a matched split system.

The J5AC3036A1000 is intended for residential single-phase cooling applications where a 3-ton outdoor condensing unit is required. It pairs with a compatible indoor evaporator coil or air handler to form a complete split system. Documented matched-system combinations include the Oxbox J5AH4P48A1C00 air handler and the Oxbox J5GXCA003AC6HUA A-cabinet cased evaporator coil, among others. The unit is built on a painted, galvanized steel cabinet and is suited for standard residential outdoor installations.

Key Features

• 3-ton cooling capacity — 36,000 BTU/h output
• 13.4 SEER2 efficiency rating meeting current DOE standards
• R-454B (A2L) refrigerant — lower global warming potential than R-410A
• ECM outdoor fan motor — 1/3 HP, 930 RPM, reduced energy draw at the fan
• Microchannel outdoor coil construction for efficient heat rejection
• 208/230-volt single-phase operation — compatible with standard residential electrical service
• Sound power level of 77 dB for moderate outdoor noise output

Compatibility

The J5AC3036A1000 is designed as an outdoor condensing unit within a matched residential split system. Confirmed matched-system pairings documented in supplier data include the Oxbox J5AH4P48A1C00 air handler, the Oxbox 5JMM4A0B36S31S air handler, the Oxbox 5JMM5A0B36M31S air handler, and the Oxbox J5GXCA003AC6HUA A-cabinet cased evaporator coil. Always verify ARI or AHRI matched-system ratings when selecting indoor components.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician holding the appropriate EPA Section 608 certification for handling A2L refrigerants. Power must be disconnected at the disconnect box and the indoor air handler or furnace must be de-energized before any service work begins. R-454B is classified as an A2L mildly flammable refrigerant — follow all applicable local codes, ASHRAE 15, and manufacturer guidelines for handling, leak detection, and ventilation. Secure all refrigerant line connections at the gas valve and liquid valve service ports per the submittal dimensions before system startup.
