That model number is for an air handler (indoor unit) and not associated with tonnage. Air handlers are more often rated according to CFM and auxiliary heat.
In order to get the tonnage you would need to look at the model number of the outdoor unit (likely a heat pump). Typically tonnage is expressed in 1000s of BTU/hr, i.e. 24 = 2.0, 30 = 2.5, 36 = 3.0, etc.

Hi!
It could be a loose connection causing a voltage drop(higher amp draw) on either end of the element or the element shorted out(touching something to ground) or the sequencer contact that gives power to that element stuck closed and the element kept heating without the fan running or just the age of the element (burned out normally). I hope that helped!
Testimonial: "When I get the new elment I will check all conections to make sure they are tight. About a year ago I replaced the one on the right it seems to be ok."
SOURCE: What is the tonnage of a ruud UHQA 1010B air
This unit is designed for 3.5 to 4 tons. The j14's are 1.5 to 2 tons. J17's are 2.5 to 3 tons. A j24 is 5 tons.
Hope this helps, It comes directly from my j21 factory manual on my air handler unit.
SOURCE: I have a Ruud Model # UACC-036JAS. Any idea on
Hi, yes the number you are showing me 036 indicates its a 3 ton unit. For every ton of cooling, you will have 12,000 btu's of cooling. 36 divided by 12=3 ton unit. Its showing me also its a Ruud Handler 2.0 ton which would be a Model# UACC-024JAS? If your mobel number is the one you gave me, UACC-036JAS, this is a 3 ton unit, absolutely no questions. I hope I have been of help to you. I am a licensed air conditioning / Refrigeration /Heating Contractor. Let me know if I have been of help.
Sincerely,

PS If this is a split system with the indoor air handler and condenser outdoors, both coils must be the same tonnage for it to work for you properly. You can't have a 2 ton indoor evaporator coil with a 3 ton condensing unit.

Hi,
That would be a nominal 5 ton BTU unit or 56,000 btu....
At 12,000 btu/ton you can see that it is just a bit short of 5 ton but larger then 4 ton....actually about 4.75 ton....
