Carrier hvac - kitchen compressor swap
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.
You just made all that shit up. Absolutely not. All those loads you mentioned always pull less than what you "think" they pull. I bet a million dollars your not an experienced sparky nor do you own a amp meter.
I’ve listed what they pull in responses. It’s over if they’re all active. 43 charger. 30 hot tub. 14/15 condenser. 17 electric heat strips. We’ll see tho
@@StraitClownin909 funny, considering I am a master electrician, who has employees working for them. Also own a fluke meter. So I’ll let you know where to send that million dollar check…
@@StraitClownin909oh, and if you are the dumass that installed this work, which is why you are defending it, please do us all a favor and just stop, please stop. Your old job at McDonalds is probably still hiring.
@@StraitClownin909 It’s ok though, I’m not going to hold you to it. I know your job at McDonalds doesn’t pay that well.
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
@@chuckholmes2075 all I “know” is actuall pulls. 43 charger plus 30 hot tub plus 16 heat pump plus 17 heat strips = 106. Your right I don’t “know” a lot but sayin they don’t all run at once ain’t gonna change the math on the cold evening that they do. 😂
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.
Yep - got gator clip jumpers. What did I need to jump? The delay?
@@restaurantrepairs Not trying to critique your trouble shooting style, but you did have access to those voltage terminals at the unit, maybe save a little time by not having to use a honeywell stat. Me personally I wouldn't have touched too much after seeing the Xfrmer, That is a good indication they fried that board and other possible components. I had one company try and sue the one I was at just because I started to clean up their mess saying it was mine if that makes sense. I like to CMA with any customer. Take your pics and immediately ask the owner TF for not being honest about the situation, Cause I have also had them turn around and not pay after fixing it because I didn't inform them. I don't wanna assume anything but customers are sleazy especially commercial like this type of owner.
Just a hypothetical: but possibly the person before was from a reputable company and they just sent out an inexperienced tech who shit his pants and left and they chose to call you because you could get to it faster. I don't have all the info of your situation but all I really meant with my response is I like to confront the client when they are not on the up and up before doing anything else. Maybe could have saved you some hassle.
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!
It delivers 2 legs of 120. That’s all I was getting to. One breaks thru that fan delay the other comes live from the board . Yeah I was brain farting testing to ground.
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!
Yeah baby!!
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
😂 👍
Not joking
Except for the first semester apprentice part
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 ?
As a standard no. Case by case yes. I really want to get those little ambro nitro bursts and then I will all the time. I know it’s better.
@@restaurantrepairs The YT Police pulled you over like pull over ! Pull over ! 🚔 👮🏻♂️ 😅
I enjoy your videos, Thanks for sharing.👍
I’m tired of the no feet thing too
Maybe someone @copelandcompressors can hear our cries… 😂
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)
Yeah man. I learn more from yall out there than vice versa I assure you. Love the community tho. We’re all in this together
Nice work joe.😊
kitchen rags 👍
Yeah baby. Dirtys in a bag on the bag porch
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.
Thanks man. I don’t like longer vids cuz I don’t like watching long vids. Well more accurate people don’t have the attention span. Thanks for being here. 👍
Copeland's been doing that here a lot lately not sending the feet pads
:-(. For 1700 bucks you’d think I could get 4 bolts and some rubber grommets
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!!!
Charger pulls 43 - hot tub pulls 30 - let’s add 17kw of heat strips likely another 15. She may be fine. It just seems like a lot given I’m not accounting for any of the consumer outlet draw. 👍
@@restaurantrepairs again, the 83% rule and the fact that all loads likely won’t be used at the same time at their individual max ratings. Obviously, if the main 100A breaker isn’t tripping due to over current or heat and is working as intended. It is likely within 83% and never exceeds the max load rating of the main breaker. Probably close or between the 83% and max rated though, likely using the service load calculations it should be a 125A service.
Did it get ya
Naw cuz I always check. Guess why I always check. 😂⚡️
Gotta do it in a pinch
