Here is the report
I have 2 Scs ac units. 1 large one that uses 2 breakers, and one small one that uses 1 breaker.
The small one works fine and is pulling 15 amps at the breaker in the box. Since this one works fine I’m going to quit talking about it.
My problem was the large one blowing breaker 1 in the breaker box after running for about 20 minutes. This unit pulls 15 amps on breaker one and 4 amps on the second breaker in the “high fan” cool mode. If the fan is on low it pulls no amps on breaker 2 and 15 amps on breaker 1.
Last night during the testing it worked fine. I could not amp clamp at the ac unit itself because the wires were too short so I did all my testing at the breaker box. I did disconnect and reconnect the compressor plugs and made sure they weren’t burnt. It ran all night and seems to be ok so far today.
