Hey Friends, my name is Armando. I am an HVAC Instructor. I’ve been doing HVAC and Building Automation for some years now and I want to give back.
I’ve noticed the big need of having a video that gets to the point rather than to lecture about it. Although theory is important, I like to simply show you what to do and what to check.

HVAC Controls Training - Analog Inputs (Thermistors) Part 1
มุมมอง 281หลายเดือนก่อน
A simple explanation on what a thermistor is. Analog Inputs are important in the building automation world and give us a range of data so that we can then interpret that data and do something with it. #buildingautomation #carrier #programming #bacnet #BAS #hvac #hvacr #hvacr #hvactrainingvideos #hvactraining #pioneercontrols controls
What is the difference between powering down by the disconnect switch vs. unplugging at motor?
You can unplug it at the motor but you need to make sure there’s no power going to it. That’s why you power it down at the disconnect first. You then Hold the plug in your hard, turn on the disconnect, check you have high voltage going to it, turn off power at the disconnect, plug it back in and flip the disconnect on. If you unplug it with high voltage going to the ECM motor, you will mess up the motor.
Once we determine each resistance between the colored wires, determining which wire is which was not explained enough. 😶... You rushed through it. Thumbs "down"
First time watching, instantly subscribed 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What does it mean when the motor turns on then turns off after less than a second being on.
It's an irony of design when the reliability of a PSC motor is swapped to a device with a built in design flaw that makes it more vulnerable to damage from external causes of poor air flow. Why did they design ECM blower motors to be on a constant torque performance curve?
Thanks for the training videos
Good video.
Thanks for the info. Good job!🎉
Great video!
Had one go bad too. Also found the motor to be bad. Or rather the module on the motor. Had cooling turned on when i went up stairs to check the blower motor, it was rotating very slowly, it wasn't moving any air when it was called on. But later i unpluged the power to it and pluged it in and it sparked. I just forgot to turn it off. But a new motor did fix the issue. It was also tripping the 30 amp breaker at the breaker panel for a while now just never really had the time to troubleshoot the system until it actually stopped working.
Wow, easy troubleshooting and easy to follow, thanks for sharing your knowledge
wow, awesome
You have an absolute gift my friend!
as always excellent video
Thank you for the video
Thank you!
love your videos excellent explaining keep up the good work
Thanks!
Great video, I would say the only thing that could be a little bit better practice is checking your low voltage from the 24v tap directly to the common terminal of the motor, just so you know that you don’t have a bad common wire going to your motor. I’ve only seen it a few times though, out of hundreds and hundreds of motors though
Good point, thanks!
aaaaa
I’d take a PSC motor any day over that junk
Muchas gracias video perfecto 👌 ❤
Excellent video. I’ll definitely be checking out your other content!
Some of the best explanations so far. On your first drawing you show no direct connection between RS, On the second drawing you show a connection between RS. What is the actual path the resistance takes in the compressor?
The first drawing. The second drawing just shows what you would physically see on the compressor pins
I believe I am somewhat dyslexic so I have to be able to trace out a circuit before I can understand it. So, the power comes in at terminal C. R-C has the lowest resistance so what prevents it from going that way? Thanks.
Thanks for the 411 on ECM motors I have a better understanding of the basics now
You're welcome!
THANK YOU 🤟 😎
Does "PCM" motor control speed controlled by "high voltage"? Is "ECM" motor speed controlled by "low voltage"?
Are you referring to PSC motors? Yes, ECM motor speeds are controlled by low voltage.
@@HVACPioneerControls ECM=Low voltage. PCM=controlled by high voltage? Is my logic correct or incorrect?
@@gotchaplumberYou are correct but it’s PSC not PCM, PSC is permanent split capacitor
@@gotchaplumber PCM might be referring to something else. Another motor you commonly find in HVAC is PSC, permanent split capacitor motor and it takes high voltage to turn it on. There's no low voltage present.
So, on the low voltage(on the bottom) will only have one wire(say blue)? Does low voltage control control motor speed? Is blue wire simply "green" thermostat wire?
Low voltage controls the motor speed. Typically, you have three low voltage wires going to the bottom part of the ECM. When you only want to have Fan ON, not on AUTO, (no heating or cooling), you call for G and it send 24 volts to the wire going on number 1 or 2 (slower speeds). When you call for heating, it sends 24 volts to the wire that goes on number 4 (a faster speed). When you call for cooling, you send 24 volts to the wire going to number 5 (fastest speed). You will physically see 3 wires going to the low voltage of the ECM motor.
What causes smoke detector to beep every min?
My meter was going off because I left it on standby lol
Good explanation.
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Good explanation! Change your smoke detector battery
Thanks! My meter was on so it kept beeping because I left it on standby lol
You really explained it very well. Thank you.. but is the blue wire coming, the second leg from the transformer?
Yes it is, It’s my hot 24v
Thank you so much...ECM motors are now very clear to me . because of you. Thanks again
I have subscribed
nice job your covering the area that noone has touched
Thanks! I'm doing a video on PID soon. Stay tuned!
That was a very good explanation I shared with my techs. I also subscribed keep it up!
Thank you!
How do I get into building automation?
I would try to get a job as a controls installer first and go from there. Find your local controls or electrical contractor to see if they do building automation and apply. Hope that helps!
You are an excellent teacher and your videos are easy to follow along. Thanks
Thank you!
That's the best testing ECM video I've ever seen great job
Thank you!
Thank you for the video
Great educational video
Thanks!
Good video. In addition, (1) If you connect 24v to more than one tap (1-5), the motor will run at the highest tap speed (torque). Totally safe to do so. (2) The motor can be a 3-phase generator too. If you connect your meter to any 2 of the three motor windings and turn the shaft, you will see voltage. Which means you use a discarded motor on a windmill or similar. (3) A replacement controller is sold separately but the cost of the controller is almost the same as x-13 motor/controller together. (4) The x-13 motors are available on Amazon for around $300. Don'e get suckered into paying $700+ for this motor. They are all made by the same company. (5) The x-13 motor is programmable. You can change the speed (torque) for any of the 5 taps.
Most online orders have no warranty or guarantee . Ask before ordering online . I am in Denver , Colorado.
That's good to know. Thank you for sharing!
GREAT GREAT VIDEO
Good explanation.
Thanks bro for the break down and a full understanding of how to..
Are ECMs and brushless motors are overkill Old school rules
It’s not the X-13 that I have an issue with, it’s all the other variants out there and it’s hard to test
I know that nobody does repair on a component level anymore but, when these go bad, 9 times out of 10 it’s the Thermistor (inrush current limiter or ICL). With a little finesse and some basic soldering skills most of there can be repaired for less than $20. If you buy your parts from a place like Mouser, this price can be as little as about $4
Great tip!
Those motor are junk They cost close to 500.00 so where is the saving Just more parts that can go wrong
Hahaha that's nothing the cost here in Colorado is around 1200-1600 depending on the model make 😂
@@izzymoney85 Yup. Most of the ECM's I have to replace are a minimum of $1200 when they go bad. Any minor savings on electrical is LONG gone when I have to replace these... I have also seen the motor itself go bad with resistance readings out of spec that has taken out the control... It's definitely worth looking over the motor if you want to save the customer some money and only replace the module. They also seem to always have them completely encased in a silicon/epoxy that makes examining the electrical components difficult. Such as the common in-rush MOV that is known to open up on some of these.
@@izzymoney85 Hey , bro . I am in Denver , Colorado. Thanks for the heads up 🤭😎🤟
@izzymoney85 you mean the rip off cost your company sells them for. We know this as techs
Those motors in the video aren't junk compared to broad ocean motors.😂😂😂😂😂
Learn something new, God bless you sir.
Testing continuity on the copper is always the best choice since the paint of the compressor does not make good contact if any.
Definitely!
Your explanation of the windings and showing it with the relays was super helpful.
