    Nice view from the roof!! I didn’t see any chunks on the fan cage we know that can cause vibration also? When you were rolling nit around I do not see any counterweights on the fan cage fins so that would definitely cause fan
    So I’m going to say the counter weight is missing in action can cause vibration wobble 👍… but great job on troubleshooting

    Thank you for all the great content Mike. After 20 years in the business I decided to go out on my own back in September. Best decision I’ve ever made. However 4 weeks ago I fell down my basement stairs and broke my leg in 3 places. After surgery and a bunch of hardware installed in my leg the surgeon said I’ll be out of work for 3 months. Fortunately I have your videos to keep everything fresh in my mind.

    Amp draw will change depending on airflow resistance so checking amp draw with the doors off sometimes doesn’t give a accurate measurement.
    Set that fluke to min./max. Hook your amp clamp up, put the doors on and turn it on for normal operation
    Another fun experiment is take a squirrel cage out and sit it on a bench, hook power to it and manually block the airflow coming into and out of the blower and watch your amp draw.
    Who thinks Amp draw will increase if you completely block off the air intake coming into the squirrel cage? 😁

    • @daddydubski
      @daddydubski Před 4 měsíci

      It depends on what type of motor it is. If it's a regular PSC motor, your amp draw will drop with less airflow. Variable speed motors will increase their amp draw with reduced airflow to maintain their CFM.

    Nice gear. Having the proper equipment makes a big difference. I did some service work before I went to college and the thermodynamics class was a killer. My experience in refrigeration allowed me to much more quickly understand the concepts and solve the problems faster. My classmates thought I was a God for how I blasted through the stuff and aced the course while some of them had to retake it. Too bad I couldn't do that with other courses!
