I am an HVAC guy of 30 years and have definitely tested with that method. In fact on big refrigeration units in the middle of the night, have jumped the stat so it wouldn’t cycle, yanked the wire after starting, and let it run until the next day when the supply house was open to grab one. Mars makes universal pot relays also.
@@perpetualmotion1 oh yeah they’ll definitely bite! Love your videos and honest content! Machine work is my hobby for ‘retirement’ - fun to learn and rescue some old iron.
Man I ditched our frigiking units. Right now I’m running one toscot heat pump unit. 15k cooling at around $900. It was on sale and stacked a coupon. The one unit keeps the bus at 73 while it’s 95 out with no shade. I got tired of messing with the old and falling apart old units

Thanks for the input, I just hope anyone else who tries it understands how bad a capacitor can knock them on their butt🤣

It's my hobby as well, just don't tell anybody, they think I'm working 🤣
I had my doubts about the viability of this project when you first announced it. I might be coming around a bit. ;)
I didn't say it was a good idea, it's just what we are doing 🤣
I've had my share of caps knocking me on my can more than once, lol!! We had huge caps in the Plasma Physics Department.
Yikes! I've never been bit, I'd like to keep it that way 😄

They work so well that I'm sticking with them for now... But they have been warned that bad behavior won't be tolerated, this isn't marriage 😉
