35 years as an HVAC tech and I’ve never seen a better instructor, this guy is gold. I bet this guy turns out great tradesmen. I usually troubleshoot a circuit from the fault backwards, just my way I guess. I would have started from the blower fan first to rule out a faulty motor and worked back. Old habits are hard to break. Thanks for a great video. 👍
This is real training for in the field technicians, I am from Spain and to learn this, even after you go to an hvac training most of this you will have to learn it by force/ try and error, because in training you will be learning the theory of thermodynamics and refrigeration cycle and so on, there is serious lack of practice. Thank you!
I did this wiring system at the school I go to, it gives you a really good idea how the wiring systems works. And what is power by 120 and what is power by 24… I hope once I graduate I get to be trained by someone like you and not a rude person.. great video
Update.. I just got hired for commercial HVAC. I was refer to the company by my school teacher, and he also works there and he is the one who’s going to be training me. he’s a really cool guy and he knows a lot, I could not have ask for better opportunity
@@cryptedz7664 amazing actually. Got trained by a really good technician who is also very clean and has a good work ethic. So I picked those habits as well.
Thanks it seems my hvac electrical instructor has decided he specifically doesn’t want me to learn how to do this in his class. Don’t know what his problem is and don’t care, I’ll be coming to this from now on when I’m in class. Thank you
Probably the best simplified trainer I’ve seen and I definitely would like to build it to practice, my only question is - is there a more complicated trainer version where the outside is completely separated from the inside and adding more components like boards and small compactors to it?
New, complicated, sophisticated boards with fuses, and all of its nomenclatures, were left out of this equation. Very basic, but very helpful for 1990's teaching. Thank you for the content.
Craig you are do a tremendous job for the younger techs out there and keeping us old farts mind fresh and always thinking. Thanks Craig for taking the time to fabricate this fantastic learning board.
Craig, you are an awesome dude. I wish you were my instructor in my HVACR class! (Well, you kinda are, actually; when I get home and start studying, I am always watching your videos to learn more!) Thank you so much for being a part of my life!
You are the best instructor. I love your videos. I love that fact that you break it all down, To really understand. I wish you where the mechanic I learned from when I started in the trade. Keep up the great work
Really glad I found your channel. As a multi - family maintenance tech. , finding myself needing to understand HVAC - your tutorials have saved me multiple times. Thanks
In our school each group of 2 had much more sophisticated board like this. Best way to understand the sequence of operations. All connected with old school just Game of Relays
I have been watching your videos for a while and I find your very very passionate and very skilled in your knowledge and workmanship. I have upgraded my Skills as a HVAC technician because of your channel. I hope one day to be in your classroom to learn more. Maybe if your in the Netherlands. Haha. Keep putting out these great, learnful content. So we can do our job a little bit better each time and with more confidence. Thank you very much. I really appreciate your videos and dedication.
This reminded me a a video on using a troubleshooting harness with a training board so the students can't just see the fault. It's on the now defunct BTCInstrumentation channel 'Teaching tips: using troubleshooting harnesses for circuit diagnostic exercises'. It involves breaking out a terminal block of test points then covering the training board with students only able electrically test from the test points which are referenced to the schematic. I remembered that video when I thought you might cover the low voltage wires from the transformer so you could introduce phasing/polarity issues for more advanced training. Get the student in the habit of checking phasing/polarity.
O my god! I just fund out you are from NJ. I been looking you videos for 2 years and I just discovered you are from here NJ, Thank you for your good videos I need to see you making a video about pipe sizing and regulators on Lp and use the Chart again in LP. Because the way you explain is amazing Thank you Again 🙏
This is AWESOME! I am always looking to improve my teaching, and your book and videos are a huge inspiration. I will love to have you as a guest teacher if you're ever in the Wilmington, Delaware area. Keep up the great work!
Joseph, if you are an HVACR instructor, make sure to get our free sample book. Just email me at info@acservicetech.com and request the free sample copy, thanks! Our website is www.acservicetech.com where we have the free plans for that project too, thanks!
I learned a lot from this video😍，I have two further questions that hope you could help to answer : ① In the North American market, is the furnace control board the same principle? As long as the thermostat is fed to the furnace control board corresponding terminal 24VAC, no matter what type of control board can successfully interpret the thermostat signal and turn on the corresponding load (only for the 24V furnace control board, the thermostat is a relay that can give the "W", "Y" or "G" terminal 24VAC signal according to the room temperature). ② I see that there is no furnace control board on the HVAC Training board, can I understand that as long as the temperature controller can make the corresponding load run on the HVAC Training board ,at the actual situation (with the furnace control board), the temperature controller can successfully control the load equipment through the furnace control board (only for 24V control board)? Look forward to your reply
Pull the camera back some and show us the legend and both diagrams at the same time you’re looking at your board so we (me/I) get the big picture. Great video
We have all the instructions, wiring diagrams, measurements for the board at our website at acservicetech.com in the resource section. You can download or view it to help with the video, thanks
Exactly what I needed 2 weeks ago for my final!! Lol its all good!! I made a high A on the electrical simulator thingy!! Thanks though!! This helps me tons!!
Great troubleshooting board Craig! I've been thinking about making one of these to help my 2 techs get better at troubleshooting. Always great content & the best instructor in this field. 👍
Wow this is amazing . Can’t get any easier then this . Thank you for taking the time and making all the material and effort into promoting HVAC education.
Great video. We had fuses that got taken out to wire up different circuits with different variations of switches and contractors and such and then they would check it w the fuses. No ground fault safety tho that’s fancy. You should teach in a school if you don’t already.
Hi there. This is a great board. I just started a two years program in HVAC. I ordered everything for this kit and I’m half way building it. Waiting on a few more components to arrive. My question to you, do you have any more videos on working with this board? Like troubleshooting and or adding more components to it? Thanks in advance.
wow--- i wish i know what you said, only know 10%, still have a long way to go. thank you, i have been watching your video everyday since i found you , also purchased your book. thank you again.
You can use an Arduino to replace system control board. I did on my HVAC system years ago. Arduino costs $15 - $35 .... original control board was $320.
Fan coil setup! Practice application of this model: Understanding the diagram and how to components works we can put one of those relays to bypass burned blower motor relay on the circuit board (in case fan or the A/C Mode) . Always wanted to do that! Board cost $130, relay $7.
Awesome work on making this board. Very great tool to use to show how the different plugs work and the flow of electricity from the thermostat to other places on the board. Thanks for sharing.#PEACE✌🏾
So great to hear from you! I wanted to cover some electrical components and I wanted to improve upon my initial design so we pressed forward, made this and then built the diagrams.
Really like your training videos. By the way do you have video explaining layout of a HVAC workshop and tools & Equipment required in it. (Scope of workshop Split Air conditioners & Refrigerators.
Do you have an HVAC electrical wiring as you show in this video and you explained in your Refrigerant charging and Service procedure for the Air conditioning book?
Our instructor had a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood with components on it. This is much easier. 45 years ago I was a student at the New Orleans School of Refrigeration on Mazant street. Aint dare no more as the Chalmations would say.
Excellent trainer for high school instructors something that is really lacking in our high school in our public education. Low cost easy to implement for every student. They should even be drafted down to grammar school level and just use computer power brick for 12 V and 24 V for safety reasons of course. With 12 V fans or 24 V fans and lights and motors. Because even in high school it’s starting to get too late to train students to learn how to learn and become educated.
Good video, thanks - are you using common ground on the primary and secondary of the transformer or are you grounding the circuit of the 24 Volts to the plate only? In other words, did you connect the ground of the 24 V circuit to the ground of the house? Are you using an isolated transformer?
@AC Service Tech LLC lol i have been trying for a year or more to fix my butchered air handler i don't know how many times i have been shocked lol it works now only problem is it never turns off even with the thermostat disconnected

I'm just getting into this and maybe it's a dumb question, but what is the path from g to ground? To my eyes, the only path I see is from the common connection that's bad that leads back to ground.
My son purchased this kit for me some time ago. I decided to put it together last month. One thing I keep having problems is the GPSR on the diagram, on your video and everywhere shows 2 wires coming out of contact 4 of the GPSR. How did you manage to connect 2 wires in one leg? 2nd, I guess because of contact 4 on the GPSR I can't get the board to work as it suppose to. All of them work if I jump every single one from the back of the thermostat from Red to yellow, to white, etc. But, once I install the thermostat the heat side has a shortage. Any suggestions? I didn't took the time to do 90 degree angles with the wires, tied them down, etc like you did but, they work. 1. I have been stuck on the contact # 4 of the GPSR and the heat side for the past 2 weeks
