I'm adding a mini split to a home with existing central air. The mini split's compressor will be located close enough to the main compressor that sharing the existing electrical would be enormously convenient. The existing central air has a 50 AMP breaker feeding 6-2 to a 40 AMP disconnect. The existing compressor's min circuit ampacity is 24.3A and its maximum overcurrent device is 40A. The mini split has a min circuit ampacity of 10A and a max fuse of 15A.
I've done a bit of research, but haven't found a definitive answer. Can I simply daisy chain from the existing 40A fused disconnect to a 15A fused disconnect for the mini-split?
State code is based on NEC 2014.
Thanks.
