Is Your AC Circuit Breaker Tripping?

Blowing up the text with the phone, glad I'm not the only one. lmao nice job by the way

[@lucianoandsonshvac]

Yeah I’m with you on easy calls. Had this happen. Breaker tripped. Used a megaohm meter and found compressor to be bad. Replaced compressor and not wire harness. Got a call back and found breaker tripped again. Replaced wire harness to compressor and never happened again. Now I will always replace that. Wish it came with compressor.

As long as we learn from our mistakes it's all good 👍

im an hvac conractor as well in Palmdale, I say the same " I hope its a " " cap and go"

@@themrmoy40 Right?! 😁👍

[@airmechanical7163]

I also hope it's a cap or the float switch tripped by a clogged condensate line .

Good! I'm not alone. 🙂

[@themrmoy40]

so it wasn't a short to ground compressor?

[@theairconditioningguy]

@@themrmoy40 Nope! Wire gauge and circuit breaker size was the problem.

[@ChumpyChicken2]

Hi mate, if the gauge of the wire is 10 would that be ok with a 45amp breaker?

[@ChumpyChicken2]

I think I’m getting a bit mixed up here!

[@theairconditioningguy]

No 10 gauge is only good up to 30 amps

[@ChumpyChicken2]

@@theairconditioningguy ahhh! Yes the higher the gauge the smaller the conductor!! Thanks
