Your abiility to explain things is impressive. New techs could learn a lot from you, heck even old techs like me could as well. Keep it up bk

I have to tell you.! You are very awesome at going step by step and,working first at your power and working from there.. I see to many techs.grab the gauges first.. But i was taught start with electricity and then components! You demonstrated this textbook! Once again, very awesome tutorial and video explaining the process! I will continue to watch your videos,and learn something new everyday, Even at 35 years in commercial refrigeration trade.im still learning something new everyday! Thanks again, Appreciate your time and most importantly your talking thru explaining... Bryan Tyler Refrigeration Helotes.TX

Hey there. Love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. I am an electrician that is trying to switch over to ac work because I like a challenge. 😁 I learn something new in every video. In reference to your question of why the secondary side of the transformer is grounded, it's for two reasons. The first reason is safety, as you mentioned in video. It provides a return path for current. The second reason is to provide a "reference plane" for current. It helps to balance out the voltage in an unbalanced situation and keep voltage from climbing too high or low. When I'm at work and a device (light or ceiling fan) isnt working and my meter says 87 volts. It's usually an open neutral. Anyway, keep up the great work. Love your videos and hopefully I'll be starting hvac school soon. Have a great day.

There is a shortage of good techs everywhere. I am not an owner, just a tech, but I have seen enough "techs" repair a system only to have me go back and find out why it went down 20 minutes after they left. Btw Utah is a beautiful state.

I believe an air pressure switch should come standard to prove fan operation but unfortunately is an option on most RTUs. Such a small item is very useful to diagnose the supply fan & interlock the other components.

I have had some fun times trying to find out why 0-10v actuators not closing and transducers showing incorrect values. Usually it is because the 0v on the transformer 24v side is not grounded so the 0v reference point "floats".

Step down transformer secondaries are grounded for reference, voltage stabilization, and safety. Be aware not all transformers are internally grounded so never rely on chassis ground for reference when troubleshooting a 24 volt circuit...
