"Short circuit"

[Frank The Plumber]

I follow the gospel of the guru of electrical automotive wiring. I use Ron Francis products and try to promote his wiring theories, you can argue product if you like but his engineering is sound, I did a complete rewire of my truck, all my wires are integrally labeled, the system is redundantly grounded, the paths are all channeled cased and protected. One of the best investments you can make.

Oh my...Looks like a 3 phase fused disconnect but that middle fuse will handle a lot of current! I was looking at a dual 7.5 ton condensing unit one time. I turned the disconnect off and started taking the panel off to get to the control circuit to check out a couple of things. Just about the time I got the panel off the unit started up. The disconnect was as 60 amp and should have been a 100 amp for the size unit and apparently had burned up at some point. Rather than replace it some brighto had just bypassed it. That one scared me and afterward got my blood pressure up...

I agree 100%. R.F. also carries about the largest quantity of high quality wiring accessories. The latest catalogs include a wealth of information, and the tech support, both on the phone and Email, is second to none!
