How much power loss when A/C on?

When I turn my A/C I feel an amazing power loss. How much power would you say is lost when you turn on the A/C. I've been arguing with my cuzin about it for a little while now.

15hp? I feel a lot more loss than 15hp when I turn my AC on, but that could just be my mind. Feels more like 25-30. =\

I'd estimate 10-15%.

It is about 10-15%. The loss felt depends on how strong the motor is. A 350 V8 will barely feel a loss, but a torque-less Honda will feel abit of lag.
