surge protectors for minisplit variable speed equipment
nice i learned more from this video
Glad I could help
Awesome video tad! Thanks for the info!!!
Any time!
I installed an Intermatic AG3000 today on a new Fujitsu 15K 25.3 SEER. Thanks Sid Harvey.

Surge protector manufacturers recommend keeping those wires as short and straight as possible. Definitely don't leave them long and curl them up like that.
One little trick that I did was put vice grips on each edge of the 3/4 inch knockout and then take out just the 1/2 inch knockout
Thanks for addressing 110V installations. Every other video assumes 220V.
You are welcome
just did my 12000 btu thanks
Good morning, sir
This is the one is icm for power load protection...?
Hey brother I love your videos…is there any factory training i can go to for Samsung vrf systems?
I'm not sure of any but I will check
Had a well pump go out when lighting hit neighbors house. Can I use this for 220 well pump? Or what if attached to breaker panel and how? Another video?
Yes of course you can use this for a well pump
Tad, what is your take on removing the device from the enclosure and installing it inside the condenser to minimize damage and exposure to the elements? Great video! Liked 2 thumbs up, and subscribed
If there's enough room inside the condenser I wouldn't see a problem with that.
How does this stop power/surges from going to the mini split since the power lines from the mini split are still on the lugs from the main breaker?
Good question! I see what you see and no one picked up this!!
Would you recommend this even tho my home is solar
yes absolutely
Is there an advantage putting a surge protector at the house electrical board vs at the a/c? What about both?
One at your electrical panel will protect every circuit on your house. One at ac will only protect the ac.
the shorter the run to the appliance its protecting the better it works.
Tad I think the gasket will need to be on outside and lock ring tightens to that to prevent water from coming in. I had put similar devices in and gasket goes on outside. Unless this manufacturer specify different
No i'm pretty sure you're right gasket does go on the outside
I need to check out the instructions again
Factory guide shows the seal o-ring on the inside, you’re good to go!
Aluminum wires connected and touching copper wires? Why do they make the unit with aluminum wires when we know copper on aluminum is not okay and results in corrosion?
Hi Taddy!
I appreciate your sharing knowledge with us, but I have a question...
Is there a possibility that during the pressure test, dry nitrogen to pass through the service valve?
I installed a dual LG inverter 2 months ago but the compressor has gone.
I did a pipe line clean to the existing lines with proper liquid cleaner.
Now they have sent the outdoor unit to the lab to verify the cause, but I'm sure that the company will blame the installation.
Thanks in advance!
There is a possibility but it's very unlikely that the nitrogen would pass through that valve
Plus your unit comes with a precharge of refrigerant
That's interesting two months didn't last very long
@@TaddyDigest thanks for replying Taddy!
Let me explain this in the lamest terms possible. The monitor is not protecting anything. You still have everything wired to the load side. A true protector would wire to the load side, and the existing wires would wire to the surge protector. The way in your video doesn't cut the power to the equipment during an energy spike, and therefore, it doesn't protect your equipment.
Couple things. You're much better off getting a whole house surge protector as CLOSE to the meter socket as possible. The surge comes from the grid. You want the point of surge protection the closest you can get it to the "grid". The way you installed it, you ruined anything running in the house except the outdoor unit. Just an FYI, been an electrician since for 20 years. wow I'm getting old.
HVAC guys are not usually electricians, so installing one at the unit is better than 99% of the systems out there that have nothing for protection.
@@rv10flyer84 Doing something halfass doesn't make it right, it's just "less bad". For the cost to have this installed, it just doesn't make sense to pay to do it wrong.
Not all surges come in the mains. Depends on the ultimate wiring layout of the building and where exactly a lightning bolt might be induced into that local wiring grid. Take it from someone who has a 100 ft. lightning rod a short distance from his house. Ideally, each major appliance should be protected, IMO. And then say a prayer and cross your fingers.
@@lonniekobres5081 .01% don't, you're right... However nobody said anything abut lightning. You need lightning arrestors for that... Like I have installed on my solar system.
What if you have one installed at the panel like you mention, any benefit of a second one at the AC unit itself? @@BRADASSOFFGRIDHOMESTEAD
