Follow up on Trane RTAE that blew 200amp AFD fuses from what appeared to be just a lizard shorting the phase… here’s the results #hvac #trane #hvacrepair #chiller
Nice little voltage drop when she fired up. Do yall have crappy power there. We definitely do and we have lots of issues when the buildings get power loss or a surge. Nicely done by yall. Another chiller running.
You know when a technician and not an engineer is making the measurements. You measured the input and you had less than an ohm, and after that you tested EACH one with high pot to GND.... WHY? If you have 1 ohm between each winding, and you tested first of them to GND and had 2200MEG.... for sure the other will be the same...as they had one ohm between them....
Good question GRC, because one good reading doesn’t mean something isn’t wrong. However, one bad reading guarantees something is wrong. Thanks for asking 👍
Agreed, 100% correct after verifying winding resistance on a three wire motor, test one leg and you tested them all. But, it doesn't take much time to do the other two and the one time someone doesn't check all phases is the one time they didn't measure the winding resistance correct and there is a bad winding. So not losing anything by doing all three but a minute or so.
