  • In today’s video, I go to a commercial space where the temperature inside was reading 84. The customer would reset the breakers and the system would tend to work. The initial inspection of the unit found that the coil was dirty and the head pressure was extremely high. Needed water access, but there was none on the premises so had to run home and pick up my portable M2 sprayer. Once I return to kill power to the unit, the disconnect broke it from the terminal blocks and sparked. Causing the breaker to the building to trip. Have to resetting the breaker I wire none of the disconnect to bypass it. Clean the coil. And got the system running as it should.
    Hope y’all enjoyed the video if you could smash that 👍 button and SUBSCRIBE!! Appreciate yall 🫡

    Glad you are ok man. A little lube on the pullout at the initial install goes a long way towards protecting against that type of craziness along with maintenances where you can reapply some lube. You can tell they weren't doing any of that. Really a junky disconnect with junky metals being used. Hopefully they don't get someone killed out here one day. Thanks for the video.

    • @KoolinwithKrauss

      Duuuude solid point, little dielectric or something might go a long way for sure. I may just start doing that on my maintenances from now on 🤔 good advice appreciate you bro!

    Those discos are bad about that. Sometimes you'll pull them out and one of the blades will break and stay in place, leaving one leg hot. That's why you are supposed to check both legs for power after yanking one, but sometimes we get lazy after a long hot day.

    • @KoolinwithKrauss
      @KoolinwithKrauss  2 дні тому +1

      Ain’t that the truth!! I’ve fallen victim to that as well! Something similar today, with a bad breaker only getting the 120 to each leg but not 240!

    I have that sprayer but took the awkward long wand off and just screwed the tip in by itself. It’s much better that way for what we use it for. I still keep the wand in the truck for those hard to reach areas.

    Do the city parasites not get bent out of shape if there's no working disconnect? Will you go back and fix it, or do they need to get an electrician, or should they call Curtis (he replaces disconnects!)?
    A lot of people like tool bag and loadout videos; I'm one of them. Good stuff.
    Btw, YOU didn't blow the power, a snatch-ass disconnect blew the power. I hope the customer saw the video so knew not to blame you either.

  • @bagtube
    @bagtube 2 дні тому +1

    I would think if the disconnect fails like that the customer either buys a new disconnect with install for about $165 from me. or I’ll come back and finish the a/c work once their electrician replaces it for I bet a lot more.
