Hi,
This is Abdul. Need to understand the load calculation for 1.5 T on a/c. We are about to install 12 A/C's of 1.5 T how to calculate the total Load, ampere and cable size.

Please let me know

Regards,
Abdul

Look at the manufacturer's data for the units. They will list not only full load amps (FLA) but also minimum circuit ampacity (MCA). If using breakers for your short-circuit protection, you may need to use ones rated "HACR" (Heating Air Conditioning, Refrigeration).
 
Abdul... As a start I suggest you refer to the examples given in USA's NEC (National Electric Code) Handbook; also known as NFPA 70.
