Checked the amps on the fan/comp unit and less than 25 amps. Panel breaker is 40 amps. But wait… breaker at the outdoor disconnect for the A/C was only 30 amps….. why was the 40 amp tripping, not the 30? Electrician who installed panel will be here tomorrow. Hopefully end our 5 days without A/C in a heat wave.
With ya on the 3.73’s. Get 'em out of my garage, settle up later.
