I am installing 2 split air conditioners of 1.5 ton capacity each in a brick walled room of 4725cub.ft.
In Chennai (India) can I connect both the air conditioners to a single phase of a 3-phase electrical connection (the electrical meter on this 3-phase connection is rated 10-40 amps)?

the compressor and condenser are located in a separate unit outside the room, the evaporator and fan are located inside the room. these units are connected by pipelines which carry freon.

In a split system, the compressor is located in a metal housing outside, usually on a separate concrete pad. There is also a heat exchanger (radiator) and fan in this unit. Heat carrying fluid (usually florocarbons, or hydroflorocarbons) for cold (in) and hot (out) are usually carried through the walls in copper tubes.
Inside the building another metal unit houses a heat exchanger and fan, used to cool the air and take the heat out of the building.
As for the electrical connections, I cannot answer for I do not know the building codes for Chennai. But, in general I would try to balance the load onto 2 phases.

Fans are installed in indoor and outdoor unit as well, fan in indoor unit is for circulating air inside conditioned space and fan in outdoor unit is for heat rejection.In split unit indoor and outdoor units are connected by means of flare connection.
About power connection, I think yes single phase can be tapped from 3 phase supply keeping in mind load should be properly balanced.

Yes, my fan is on. I have a very big fan and so it tends to blow things off my desk. I have not seen my cat since I turned it on.
