A 1500 btu ac uses around 1600 wats
1600 watts converts to approx 14.5 amps (I(A) = P(W) / V(V)). Running 2 ACs on 30 amp service will trip the breaker if anything else is running. Also at startup of the AC compressor the current draw will be higher. Some rooftop AC units can draw as much as 19 amps while running.
