    I just want to say that your video explanation was very easy to understand and the greatest for people who do not have knowledge in HVAC.I also looked at other videos and I thought my multimeter was defective the way they explained it. GREAT JOB KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK.!

    Thanks ,that’s a great job. I suggest a proper insulation resistance test should have been carried out with an insulation resistance tester (merger). More so you didn’t specify the expected normal resistance of the compressor to serve as an expected datum for comparison. Thank.
