Yea, that’s definitely undersized. Car charger most likely drawing 48 amps, hot tub 45amps, AC 25 amps, and other loads, I wouldn’t be surprised if the main trips.

Bandits in the industry ripping people off.

that was a master tech masterpiece! I hope you are available for them if anything goes wrong in the near future, otherwise the next guy will even be more confused!

I can't stand it when I see an owner running around with a terminating screwdriver in their shirt pocket. Or when I find safeties bypassed on a 120 mmbtu thermal oxidizer burner management panel...when I did the wiring and the start up just a year prior?! Nope, not having it.

Not a continuous load.

the last one i had in a kitchen i just jumped it out. told them to call me if they have any more problems & id put a fan cycle back in it. been 3 years. no issues.

The more of these videos I watch makes me wonder why wiring in these kinds of units is always such a rats next. No neat bundles, no cable ties, bo harnesses. I dont know how you find anything in such a spaghetti mess!

TELL US you know nothing about amperage and loads without actually mentioning those words

it's fine. those breakers trip at that level. all those items will draw no more than 50 amps if all on at the same time

It's like a game of what happened first originally. My guess is the fan went down and snowball of bad decisions shortly followed. 😮

Might I recommend keeping a shade umbrella in your truck for those long roof days

Is it just me, or does it appear that the outdoor condenser breaker doesn’t match the panel ? In Canada we aren’t permitted to mismatch like that.

I have seen a few that atleast mark on the front its by passed. Nowdays never trust anything

Manitowoc-approved fan cycle switches are junk. There should be a process stub near the old switch. Pinch off the stub and braze in an access stem. There’s not typically a lot of room in those single evap cubers, so using a Johnson P70AA-118C, though preferable, may not be ideal. R-404A, right? A 170-250 psi encapsulated “peanut” switch, 1/4” flare with depressor should do the trick. It’ll go bad too, unfortunately. But, hey, at least it’ll be easy for the next guy to replace.

You don't have jumpers? No offense but it seems like you're making a lot of things more difficult for yourself than they need to be.

Thanks for sharing.👍

mmmmmm .... bare wires , my favourite

It appears legal but marginal. The owner may need a load calc. The hot tub can fluctuate depending on size and number of pump motors. A cal spa with the volcano jets has three pumps with the third at 5 HP. Where I would be concerned is the size of this sub panel. How big is the main panel? Is it a 40 slot 200 or larger? I would certainly check that sub panel for good measure. Insure that you have a shielded neutral for those singles. Insure the ground bar is attached to shell and isolated from the neutral bar. Hot tubs make me nervous. I want to make sure that the ground path is in tact in case of a ground fault.

👍👍👍

Single phase 208/240 doesn't have 110/120v 'legs' unless there's a Neutral involved. Nice find/fix for now!

And? You don’t add up the amperage of each breaker. Guarantee if you probe one of those 20 amp lines probably has 4 A on it.

Is that why some companies grow grass on top?

Thats not how ya total it.... That panel is loaded... YES... But aint overloaded. Especially if not all on same time

Perforated pans will help on the prepackaged dressings too. Especially if perforated and lid used in combination, easier said than done with ops.

Definitely saving this video! Gracias Joe!

Shady people exist in every career and it’s crazy!

Electrician is right, now you know & must not use all the device at once.

Every time you pan to the inside of that thing I'm just in my head like "Tear it all out and start over."

Wtf kinda fuckery is that???? Smh IDIOTIC!

Great vid man , always top notch work 👍🏻

Those grounds are supposed to be cut off and folded back. First semester apprentice here. Geeze

Nothing wrong here

I thought was a great video!.....I had the exact same issue with a 7.5 ton compressor today, however, when I disconnected the leads to the compressor and reset the breaker, lights and other equipment went out.....hummmm

ty george for hooking us up with longer videos :D

Thanks

Start worrying when you start tripping mains lol

Just curios. Do you purge nitrogen while brazing ?

I enjoy your videos, Thanks for sharing.👍

I’m tired of the no feet thing too

Awesome job & video 👍👍👍

I always used to put in a suction filter on a burnout

Best thing I've heard from another You-Tuber: This is not a how-to video - This is how I do it video! (It's what we're here for TBH)

Nice work joe.😊

kitchen rags 👍

City should fine them. Contractors do have water tank trucks to spray down the area for a reason.

Long, short, doesn't matter. Love your content, man.

Copeland's been doing that here a lot lately not sending the feet pads

Why do so many people think that large amp breakers in a panel rated for 100, 125 or 150 amp is such a problem? Odds are none of them are pulling their max rating and in most cases air handlers & compressors are rated high due to in-rush current! Once in-rush current is gone the loads typically run at 30-70% of the breaker/circuit rating this is why there is a 83% rule in the NEC!!!

Did it get ya

Gotta do it in a pinch
