5. I want to know a/c voltage and for some reason it's just not coming to me like I thought it would. I've been working on cars since I could drive and I know DC like the back of my hand but I just have a hell of a time with ac. Maybe it's all the colors. I just don't want to go back to school just to learn ac, I was hoping it would hit me a lot faster. Got the core principle down probably just need some experience. Great video guy. Service area Orleans??

16. i liked it when they came out with the reversing motors….but the cheap bastards could have put another 60" of wire on it and ran the reversing leads with the rest of the wiring. And these are U.L. approved

18. The oily and fat pollution in the air duct can cause a fire problem, in Germany the law forces comercial kitchen to clean it every year.
    The design of the air vent collects rain, that looks strange to me!
    I like your way to solve problems! Are you in Kanata ?

19. Two recommendations:
    1) Would love to have a roll-up at the end of each job, with some ballpark itemized costs for that job (2ea contactors, 1ea replacement fan motor, 6hr labor = $xxxx.xx).

    2) It would be great to have you recommend some user maintenance items with a recommendation for intervals that may help prolong equipment life and/negate the need to call you for an emergency response.

22. Who likes working on Restaurants hvac units or anything related to restaurants? I drove 90 miles to go to a fast food place because they said their kitchen exhaust fan was down. They had to have it fixed today (sorry to Night)Got there kitchen staff and manager did not even know the fan was down. Clueless people. Went on roof found broken belt. Maintenance guy said he has extra belts in every exhaust fan. Nope no belts. This is at 8 PM. No supply houses open, called several auto parts houses. No belts. Finnally got hold to Tractor Supply. Yes they have belts, but close at 9 pm. Drove 30 minutes to TS. The guy there actually reopened the store up for me. Got belt, drove back, put belt on. It is now 10 pm. Had manager sign paperwork. Did not even say thanks. In fact he even had an atitude about it. Dove 120 miles back to my house. Got home after 1 am. Did I say it was raining the whole time I was on the roof. Who likes Restaurant work? Did I say I started my day at 5 am

23. Those units like like they all need to be replaced

24. The smaller contactor is IEC standard, it's not new technology. The older one is NEMA standard, which I find superior to IEC because they are oversized and can take overloads much better than IEC can.

28. I love your hard work! But you work on shit!!!!!!!!

29. used to just replace failed overload heaters after fixing the motor issue or contactor if it failed, now you have to replace the whole overload and most everyone changes the contactor at the same time.
    the adjustable over current is nice though, no stocking and ordering specific heaters!

31. Do you think the motor windings could have a few shorted turns? Equipment autopsies are very interesting. (I'm not an HVAC tech.)

33. Those beautiful old Allen Bradley style contactors are so beautiful!
    If you have the spare parts, they have unlimited life span, and anything can be repaired in 2 minutes.
    Modular so you can build the style you need, and many parts are interchangeable between nearby models to reduce your spare part requirements.
    They really shine in heavy industrial applications, and are pretty much bullet proof in dirty environments.

    I cut my teeth on industrial control systems built with those.

    I also like the European style, the DIN format, clean and much more compact, usually easier to wire, and designed with less exposed pixies (worse shock I ever got was 480v three phase across the knuckles when my thumb slipped off the reset button on a LARGE Allen Bradley overload just like this old one but scaled up, and I punched the output terminals… Lol) , and often also have better condition indicators and sometimes adjustable trip settings.

    I guess the difference is whether it is going to be maintained, or run till failure.
    In a Plant or factory environment where you have maintenance staff on hand with spare parts on the shelf, so they can dress the contacts periodically and swap a coil out if they hear it getting noisy, then the rebuildable one is a no brainer.
    But for a fix and forget application like this, there is little benefit to it, so putting the Euro style makes sense.
    And back in the 80s and 90s, the euro style wasn't really available in the US.
    I remember in the 90s getting some machines with the euro style control panels, and loving it, but getting replacement was tough and expensive lol

34. Great video of an exhaust fan. Look like an easy switch for the fan, but not for finding the problem. Those motor starters are always a problem to diagnose I felt. Why not just put a Greenheck exhaust fan in like the others. Curb would've fit then they would have all alike fans? Well they order what they want you just supply basically labor. Hope to see the beanies next week. Will be ordering 2 of them plus 2 hoodies when they come out. Thank you for videos and your excellent experience knowledge. Be good bud.

35. It really isn't new vs old starter tech, they are 2 different standards. The big ugly one is a NEMA starter, the streamlined one is IEC standard.

40. If you are working for a chain travel time shouldn't matter if you're being paid for that ! Good if you are doing all their work because then you can expand your company with the dedicated work and make more money! Good job installing that fan! You can add mechanical to your company name now!
