AI Thread Summary
To rewire a Frigidaire air conditioning unit with disconnected wiring, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of AC mains electrical wiring. Finding the service manual online can provide essential guidance for proper wiring connections. Concerns about safety highlight the importance of ensuring that the capacitor is indeed faulty before attempting any repairs. A workaround for the capacitor may involve using a temporary substitute, but caution is advised. Proper knowledge and resources are vital for safely addressing the issue.

Welcome to the PF.

Sounds kind of dangerous. What is your background with AC Mains electrical wiring? Can you find a service manual for the unit online?
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
