What are electrical requirements for 8000 BTU portable air conditioner?
Have an 8000 BTU everstat, but circuit breakers cut when I turn it one and everything goes off? Is there an adapter of some sort that I need in order to run this? I was able to use my air conditioner last night thanks to you all. Now it is matter of the user manual. Thanks again. New at this and newly divorced. This stuff confounds me.

It takes a fair amount of power (close to 20 amps -- check the rating plate for exact figure) and should have a separate branch circuit run from the breaker box for it.

check the label plate but it is probably a 120 volt unit. It probably draws about 10 amps.

To start with, is the air conditioner 120 or 240 volts? If it is 120 volts, you probably have it plugged into a circuit that has others things on it. If it is 240 volts, it will be on a separate circuit and the outlet will be different than the plug on your floor lamp. If it is 120 volts, it should be able to run on a 15 amp circuit with nothing else on it with no problem. Good Luck!

Look at the name plate on the air conditioner. It will tell you the volts and amps or watts. It will be around 13 to 15 amps at 120 volts. Your circuit is most likely overloaded. It would need a 20 amp circuit of it's own. There is no adapter to make it work.
