Can a 5000VA stabilizer carry 2 nos of 1hp (horsepower) air conditions? Please I need professional advice

500va is also 5000watts.
1hp=740watts.
2hp=1480watts.
But electricity don't like to be judged that way. It gets notirious when you are dealing with motor.
So, you will want to add a head room of about 250watts.
This implies, 2hp= 1980watts.
Then there is the start up current required to run a motor. Every motor wants to take three times it's rated power when switched on. So a 1hp motor would want to draw around 2500watts when switched on momentarily. But it will normalise within seconds.
Your 5000va can power the 2hp air conditioning.

Yes it can

Bro, Century 2kva wall stabilizer claims on the carton that it can power a 1.5hp AC. How true Sir?

Yes it can.. We the the new generation split unit and microprocessor driven motor. The tend to do "soft start" on the motors.
This soft start gets the motor gently turning, but not enough to cause it to want to pull the maximum times three current during start up

Perfectly explained.

Hi,
Please can 3000watts stabilizer powers 1.5 ac
