You close the window onto the window unit. This closes the height gap. There will be a gap where the window slides somewhere in the middle/upper area now that tape or cardboard or foam can fill. Any gaps side ways cardboard and tape will fix.
Assuming you live in a place with 115 V AC service that 10A service should be able to handle a small AC. It is likely on start up that the inrush current is causing failures because to "get things started" takes the most power.
