    problem installing a mini split AC

    12-3 sould be fine , those are run load amp #s RLA when sizing wire you look at tag for FLA full load amps , the units starting amp (fla) is the highest draw of amparage ,that is what you go by, but I would say your FLA would be around 15 to 17 amp so 12-3 should be fine
