That was a nice condensing unit, really like how it was set up. Looks like they were even using nema contactors instead of the definite purpose junk that we always see now.
Hey rookie, what's up man? I am an electrician turned hvacr tech. To me it looks like that breaker terminal itself was the problem. Its not uncommon for some gorilla to come in during the panel install and torque the crap out of those breaker bus bar screws. Sometimes they're even stripped out. It may be stripped or loose which caused the arcing. Once it starts arcing it only get worse from there. Not sure if that was the problem, but it would be my educated guess. Nice video man, keep them coming.
Question related to HVACR- what is your normal saturated condensing tempteture should be during low ambient or what tempteture it should not fall bellow, I heard 85 to 105F I want to understand low ambient head pressure control properly what is that magic number it should not fall bellow also one refrigeration tech was telling me you will want a 70 degree F liquid temp going to your TXV for better operation can you explain this a little in detailed way so I dont have ask others thank you.. Thank you.
It limit's the flow of liquid refrigerant from the condenser and at the same time regulates the flow of hot gas around the condenser to the receiver it's basic as that. When it is cold outside or even let's say in my case one time -10 degrees that is were it kick's in. You have to maintain head pressure, the system must be properly charged. People are quick to say Oh! it's cold out and the system is not working must be my head pressure valve? When 99% of the time you have a small leak and the system is not at the proper charge.
Electrician 😂 I got a Fieldpiece boooyE !!! You ain't telling me nothing I didn't already know. By the way..... I saw you do the meter switcheroo 460 to 440, I bet nobody else caught that 😉👌
looks like the breaker screw was loose on the bus bar, high start current can make it arc open, you resetting it moved it enough to make contact and possibly arc closed again. I hope the bozo's cleaned the panel bus bar or it will fail again. **it should be replaced if it's been arc welding though, I think those panels have replaceable sections
I like the set up of the condensing unit.Every thing is neatly wired and labeled
Haha that was funny "I don't know what I'm looking at", great videos by the way!
Lol. Thanks bro
Great electrical troubleshooting video brother 💯💯💯💯
Stay curious and humble, breaking things and learning!
Its nice when everthing is labeled!

Looks like it was good breaker but had a loose lug not tight.
That is common problem, however he never turned it off and checked. Most hvac companies don't allow their tech's to dig into a main panel.
Just want to say I really appreciate your videos brother. I recently switched from HVAC to market refrigeration and your videos help out a TON!!
Thanks for the breaker break down super cool
Thanks for the video. Really appreciate your thorough troubleshooting. Stay safe and God bless!!
Good troubleshooting bro!! You know your stuff!! This is from a retired IBEW union electrician.
Good work!
Just something to add but always check line voltage wiring to ground before restoring power. Love the vids bro
wow amazing video
I love This channel
Thanks bro
Thank you for uploading this video
I knew you were working at Target , i remember those labels when they were in Canada !
Great 📹
Great video 📹 love when u crack yourself up. 👍👍
Good job Explaining,good video.

Thanks bro. Yeah it appears it was. You can see the heat spots.
That was a nice easy call, and always good to have a few of the a week
Great video
You are so smart !!
Nice design on the Rookie Refrigeration branding.
Thank you, good job.
Gracias por compartir y explicar todo

Ha I'm in dallas too bro sweet!
It's a nice Hussmann unit
Good vid Rook ... At least the electrician agreed with ya ... Lol ...
Was that a Bitzer semi-hermetic compressor?
I feel like that green is their color of choice.
I think that the blue wire was just loosed and needs a 1/4 turn on it.
Thats maybe explain the little sparks .
nice troubleshooting
nice work brother
Awesome content
Good call dude.👍
Electrician 😂 I got a Fieldpiece boooyE !!! You ain't telling me nothing I didn't already know.
By the way..... I saw you do the meter switcheroo 460 to 440, I bet nobody else caught that 😉👌
Lol. Yeah. I got a few
Nope. Nice catch.
First service call I took my main bag. Follow up call I took my small bag. Lol. Nice catch
Great video thanx.

good video, thanks
A for effort on the dissection 👍
I Hope you messed with the Hussman sticker... its always a tradition
Lol.
Great content again. Had me laughing at the end 😂 lmao
I tried to show it. But I failed 🥲
What is magnet light you use, good light please send me info
That thing got a little bitzer in there??
Yup
@@rookierefrigeration4357 crazy. I've only seen those with Copeland.
Which is better, one...
CopeLandz or the BitZerz...
I thought it was D03 not E03. Or is it another component?
They recently changed names on all cases. So it’s confusing. But we were on the right one
🤩🤩
What test leads do you use? I have a field piece 440.
These are fluke leads. I’m a big fan of the UEI leads. They are cheap and great quality.
Good ole Target.
👍👍👍
Nice bitzer
#SneakyGrounder 😎👍
How come them units are so damn dig for such a simple system
No mames
How do you like that rover light vato
Electricians are funny
I love that light bro. Not gonna lie.
I think the looze connection, causez...
💪
2:49 Gonna guess blown fuse on a Transformer or a bad breaker in main panel
Yup
Hey guys I’m from NYC, I’m in school right now can you guys give me some tips on how to get good at troubleshooting please 🙏🏾 because I I’m lost
This video just showed you how to trouble shoot a electrical issue step by step. I don't know what else to say.
Check out this channel and another channel called hvac/r the guys name is Chris
First comment! Finally
Lol. Really
#276 thumbs uP
Ok
Dont know what im looking at 😂 lol
💪🏼🧰🥷
I wouldnt even bother calling the volt guy out, i just change it myself.
