What could be wrong with your home AC central air if the thermostat clicks on and fan but AC unit won't start and new fuses and switching the breaker on and off didn't help?

It could be off on a low pressure switch. You need to check if you have 24 volts to the outdoor unit at the contactor coil. If the contactor is not working the outdoor unit will get no high voltage to the compressor or fan. It could also be that the capacitor for the fan and compressor is blown.


Why can't you have a centrifugal switch inside a hermetic compressor motor?

The centrifugal switch is likely to wear out and require replacement. It could also create a spark which could cause fumes from the oil inside the motor


Could you Calculate cable size for 100 kw load?

Yes I could. How?


Which is faster to discharge or to charge a capacitor?

It depends on the amount of current available to charge or discharge. On the surface, I would say that you can discharge a capacitor faster than you can charge it, because the charge rate is limited by the current available in the power supply, while the discharge current could be quite high, because you could just apply a short circuit conductor around the capacitor. Of course, this could damage the capacitor. In truth, the equation of a capacitor is...dv/dt = i/C, which means that, given the same charge or discharge current, the rate of change of voltage would be the same.AnswerThe time taken to fully charge, or to fully discharge, a capacitor is given by the equation: time = 5 CR, where C represents its capacitance, in farads, and R represents the resistance of the circuit supplying the capacitor, in ohms. By 'fully charge', we mean bring the potential-difference across the capacitor's plates to the same value as the applied potential difference.If the external voltage source is replaced with a short circuit then, providing the resistance of the circuit hasn't changed, the discharge time will be exactly the same as the charging time. If the resistance is changed, then the same equation applies, but you need to insert the new value of resistance.


If you touch a power line do you get shocked?

yes you will you could die or could get severl injuries.

Why is air conditioner is making loud noise?

Could be the clutch is gone. If that is the problem, you can have just the clutch changed, but don't wait too long. If it is the bearing, then have to change the compressor. When it is running, you will see the clutch wobble. The clutch can be changed with the compressor on the car. There is room.


Already changed fuse and air conditioning compressor clutch assembly but no power going to cause the compressor to kick on to pull back the clutch so that compressor kicks on what could be the cause?

What specific kind of vehicle do you have? It does sound like the clutch may be bad, but we also need to know what you are working on. You need to run power straight from the battery to the compressor. If is still does not engage then you need to replace the compressor and clutch, they are dead. If they do engage, then you have a wiring or computer issue.


Why is your ac compressor squealing?

Could be a loose belt, bad bearing in the compressor, malfunctioning clutch, lack of compressor oil... any of those things.


Why might the air conditioner not work in a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE?

if the compressor dont come on when you turn on the a/c then your compressor could be bad, also there is a relay in the fuse panel for the a/c compressor is it has gone out then that could cause it if your compressor comes on then you might need to recharge your system


Why does car ac compressor short cycle?

It could be several reasons. First, the freon level may be low. I would have the freon pressure checked first, or you can do yourself. Second, you could have a bad compressor sensor. Third, the compressor itself could be bad or you could have bad expansion valve. All could cause short cycling.


The AC isn't working in my Chevy Express 3500 passenger van. the compressor isn't coming on at all. could it be a fuse blown an not the compressor?

If the compressor is not coming on at all it could be that you are low of refrigerant and just need to add some more.


Could body contol module not allow compressor to run on a 93 buick lesabre?

yes it wont allow your compressor to run


How do you check if a compressor motor is functional without turning it on?

There are several parts of the device that can be tested separately, but in general, the only way to truly know if a compressor is working would be to finally just turn it on.You could test the electrical resistance of the motor windings to make certain that there is no open circuit.You could test the capacitor of a Cap Start motor.You could test the limit switch to make certain that it would turn the compressor on and off at the appropriate times.You could turn the compressor shaft by hand to determine if the internal components are functioning as expected.You could even disassemble the compressor head to determine if the reed valves are intact.Since the question didn't specify whether this was a sealed compressor or a conventional compressor it should be pointed out that a sealed compressor is... sealed. You can't get to any serviceable parts so the compressor either works or it doesn't; the only way to determine functionality is to turn it on.
