You’re an idiot. If a breaker trips you should diagnose the problem. To keep resetting the breaker will cause the compressor to burn the refrigerant and contaminate the system. Ohm out the compressor and fan motor before resetting the breaker. No one should use your advice. They could get seriously hurt or dead. This man is not qualified. Do not use this video for help.

Your awesome! Thank for your videos!!😊

Well done Young Man an well explain thanks for the tip will wait for your next video.

Great show of how to isolate the problem

what's up sam I have a ac only Luxaire/york ac unit 17 seer ... worked fine since install from few years ago but I went to turn it on last week and didn't notice cold air so I went to check condenser and it wasn't running I went to basement checked the breaker I believe it was tripped not sure if it was already off due to past storm surges earlier this spring but this was first time I went to open ac .. anyways I turned Breaker back on and the condenser was short cycling the fan and compressor would click on and off but then the fan wouldn't even spin any more but the compressor would click on on off. so I pulled the disconnect and retried same thing.. its a ecm component w fan motor type condenser the capacitor doesn't have a wire that comes from the fan like a psc motor would have but I do see the fan motor does have a wire that comes off and does run back to the run cap .... you think the run cap is the issue or contactor ..?? the breaker never tripped out since the first time I found it tripped

Great video!

Very helpful. Thank you!

I assume I can do a compressor test by removing the compressor wires off at the contactor too? My unit is only 3-1/2yrs old an tripping a 30a breaker in like one second after the AC is on.

Also check that the minimum and maximum amp size is compatible with the breaker at the panel. Undersized breakers are common in causing it to trip

Today we check three phase AC. indor unit is working and power from ELCB to contactor is coming but when we press contact immediately ELCB is trip so can you tell me what is the problem

My AC Breaker trips instantly when setting to cool. The outdoor unit is a Carrier 2020 model that was installed new last year. Anything ese I can try before having to call a tech? short on cash. 1. I tested the 3 compressor pins and they all show OL. 2. I disconnected the compressor to see if breaker would trip without it and breaker does not trip, Fan Spins also.(This makes me think there is not an issue with Breaker nor contactor and maybe it is an issue with the compressor or wiring.) 3. Outdoor unit is very clean, and I dont see any visual wiring issues.

Two points: 1) You can access the compressor connection much easier inside the control box on the unit. No need to remove the fan to disconnect the compressor. 2) I would advise against using the outside pull out disconnect to test after you pretty much proved the compressor was shorted. That plug in bar can explode or arc violently. I would still use the breaker is a final test.

So far this only diagnoses a fault or short to ground somewhere in the compressor electrical circuit. It could be something as simple as a blown capacitor or shorted wiring (rodent damage). Verify the compressor is bad before you write it off and spend thousands of $$ unnecessarily.

Indeed. It could be several things besides a bad compressor. This is the crap they get you on when they try to sell you entire new unit. Check everything and have more than one expert test the system! Get a second opinion.

nope..you should get a multi meter to check the impedance of the compressor..check the common to run common to start and the total equivalent of impedance of start to run.. some compressor when they get old its having a problem on the start. the current is getting high..its called hard start so better check that too. or get a cl;amp meter check it out how many amp your getting....if you unplug the compressor terminal power your circuit is not looping..what if the cap.is shorted same problem your gonna get its gonna trip the Breaker...just helping Thanks...

My circuit breaker trips after around 30 minutes. Already replaced contactor, capacitor and hard start kit. Need to diagnose compressed wires next. Everyone keeps telling me to replace the whole unit as it’s 15+ years old. I need proper diagnosis to give up completely. Please advise. Could the system run at all if there’s a short?

A year ago I replaced a bad compressor and the run capacitor. Within the last three weeks, my AC breakers tripped because of a bad capacitor, at least that's what I thought caused the trip. After replacing the faulty capacitor the breakers still trip, but intermittently. What that means is I can reset the breakers, turn the AC on and everything works fine for a few minutes, a couple of hours and even several hours at a time, then they trip again. This has been a consistent and annoying cycle. Three days ago when I reset the breakers I heard a quiet buzzing sound inside the panel, but it went away after a second or two. This is now the norm each time I reset the breakers. Are the breakers bad? Should I be concerned with the buzzing sound? Oddly, the breakers haven't tripped in the last 12 hours.

@MoreThanMaintenance

6 жыл бұрын

Yes I would be concerned. In this video the breaker tripped because the compressor kept grounding. When I pulled the compressor the bottom was corroded and rusted. There are multiple reasons a breaker will trip and is hard to diagnose without actually visually inspecting in person nonetheless here are a few that come to mind. Obviously the breaker can be the issue which I have had considering you have stated you replaced the compressor and capacitor a year ago. I have had issues where when the compressor was replaced the installer did not install a filter drier thus the possibility of allowing condensable (debris) to cause a restriction in the evaporator coil causing high pressures causing compressor to lock/ trip breaker. Its possible the compressor is faulty. There are a plethora of issues... I know its difficult to really isolate but these are a few things that run through my mind when I run into or have experienced this issue. There are a lot of great experienced HVAC techs who can add to other troubleshooting ideas.

The contacts on the breaker looked charred. An electrician told me it was probably damaged in a lightning strike.

Solution: my ac (independent) breaker was triping after 15min , I removed the breaker , there was a screw behind the switch which adjusted its sensitivity if I unscrew it , it was tripping easily , so I tightened it , then I attached it's all 4 wires in different way , by cleaning the ends and reshaping them just in case , tightened all 4 again , it stoped tripping ! .

The electrical panel or the panel on the condenser? . If you mean the compressor here is a simple analogy. Sleeper cars are cars that are bought with the purpose of making the opponent think because the paint is chipped and has a few ding... maybe even has some rust that it is a slow vehicle... however on the inside the person who owns the cars swaps the motor... transmission etc. A condenser is the same. The panel or exterior case may appear to be worn due to the damage produced by the natural elements... sun... rain... etc However... the coils are in pristine condition... capacitor is good... contactor is fine... any HVAC technician will tell you that if the coils are in good shape and the compressor goes bad there is no reason to replace entire condenser just the compressor is fine. In regards to electrical panel... as long as the bus bar is in tact there is no need to replace the panel... replacing the breaker will suffice. I have had to replace electrical panels because of the bus bar being corroded and or severely damaged... in that case you would be correct. Thank you for the added input.
