Seems to me that when you first had this problem we talked about undersized
extension cords, undersized house wiring, defective breaker in RV, and low
voltage. As I recall, your AC started working and the issue was dropped.
Someone said head pressure will increase as ambient temp increases. That's
true. So now you have at least 5 potential reasons why you are popping the
breaker in the RV. The reason the breaker popped at the campground may be
different than why it popped at your house, but let's assume the reason is
the same.

I think I have laid out the situation properly. If not, correct me.

I know there are at least 4 or 5 guys here that would be able to put you on
the right track.

Would you like some help to resolve the problem?



The problem may have been due to the heat, but I don't remember the
temperature when I first had the problem. Most folks thought the problem
then was caused by having the trailer connected to house wiring (20 amp).
But this time I was connected to 30 amp. I'm thinking that outside temp may
be the common theme to both problems.

Sure!

As others have mentioned, the two most likely causes are either low
voltage or insufficient anti-cycling delay in the condenser
controller.

Excessive cycling can be caused by poor air flow among other things -
clogged filter, fan speed too low, etc.

Temp does have something to do with it. At higher outside temps ac
runs higher pressures. Takes more current to start the compressor. AC
copmpressors have to start under a load so they need a lot of current
initially. First make sure you have the correct circuit breaker. Then
replace if it's old it cause when they get old they blow at lower than
rated. Voltage brownout will do it as well. Check and tighten all the
connections. None of that works call the service guy cause you're
probably not qualified to go any deeper.

Exactly. The problem with these rigs when used in travel trailers is
the poor insulation of the trailer itself. On hot days the temperature
can rise back up over the thermostat setpoint before the head pressure
bleeds off.

But, I am willing to be his problem was low RV park voltage.

Eisboch
I'm hoping you're correct!

But, I'll probably never know for sure. Maybe the dealer will find a
bad capacitor or something. But I'm going to change the circuit
breaker first.
Easter egg hunting is not a good troubleshooting method, and it could get
costly.

You need a good multimeter that is capable of reading at least 30 amps AC
and AC volts. Keep in mind amps are read in series. Meaning you have to
break open a circuit or use a clamp on pickup or if the Air Conditioner
unit plugs into an outlet, instead of being hardwired, you can use an
adapter with the clamp on pickup or a killowatt type of device to take
readings.



Heh .... I drafted a post for John, describing the old Navy "Easter Egging"
technique of troubleshooting,
and recommended he do a more logical series of tests, but then I realized
that people need to do what they need to do, so I deleted the post.

I doubt very much his circuit breaker is bad. Could be wrong, but there are
other things I'd check first.

But, I have a feeling he's going to claim the problem as being fixed after
he replaces it. For a while. Then, sometime in the future when conditions
are similar to that he wrote about, the problem will return.

Eisboch


Give me a break! I don't usually make a lot of claims that aren't
true. Perhaps you're confusing me with someone else.

The new circuit breaker costs $12 bucks. I won't know if that's the
problem until we get another 95 degree day. If the problem returns,
then I'll know it wasn't the circuit breaker.

Unlike some other folks, I have no problem with being wrong. If the
problem reoccurs, I'll let you know.


I think he meant because of cooler weather, you will think it is cured.

Hopefully, it's straightened out.

I obviously can't test it until I get a 95 degree day with high humidity,
which isn't going to happen until next summer unless I go to Disney World
in December.

Hell, I've been told about 14 things to look for, test, buy or otherwise do
in hopes of fixing the problem. So far I've done three or four. Replacing
the circuit breaker was one of the first things I was told, by several
people, including my BIL who runs an appliance store in Richmond and was on
scene when the problem appeared.

John,
A 20 amp circuit when properly installed can handle a 20 amp load, and
a 30 amp circuit can handle a 30 amp load. That doesn't say the source
is providing proper frequency or voltage. What we are thinking here is a
voltage sag for various reasons, or short cycle might have caused higher
current draw due to not enough time for excessive head pressure to bleed
off between cycles. Your AC unit may or may not have built in short
cycle protection or it might not be working. You can test this by
running the AC and quickly shutting it of then on again. There should be
a 3 to 5 minute delay before the compressor starts again. The conditions
that precipitated your failures may not be easy for your dealer to
replicate. He may have to ask you to leave your rig at his service
department for an extended period for troubleshooting, and even then he
might not see the problem if it is caused by a power source.
If I were in your shoes I would take the time to learn about AC wiring
and problem solving. Also an overview of how the air conditioner works
would help you a lot.

The manual tells me to get it serviced on an annual basis, and that's about
it. There is no information on wiring, etc, except for the installation
instructions. Apparently, Dometic, which makes just about everything for
travel trailers, doesn't want anyone other than itself messing with the
innards of the AC. I did check the coils and filters, but they've been used
hardly at all and were very clean.

I understand about the voltage variances. I'll take a multimeter next time
I go out. I agree that the dealer won't be able to replicate the
conditions. They will check that the output is 20 degrees less than the
input. If that is true, then it passes and no further checks are made. I'm
thinking the trip to the dealer's would be a waste of gas.

I just tried running the AC, turning it off, and then back on. The
compressor did not delay in starting. So apparently the short cycle
protection is non existent or not working.

Tomorrow I'll give the Dometic folks a call and see what they have to say.

Thanks for the feedback, Jim.

Any air conditioning guy can add the time delay. They are not expensive.
It will extend the life of your compressor and will help prevent nuisance
circuit breaker tripping.

Seems to me that when you first had this problem we talked about undersized
extension cords, undersized house wiring, defective breaker in RV, and low
voltage. As I recall, your AC started working and the issue was dropped.
Someone said head pressure will increase as ambient temp increases. That's
true. So now you have at least 5 potential reasons why you are popping the
breaker in the RV. The reason the breaker popped at the campground may be
different than why it popped at your house, but let's assume the reason is
the same.

I think I have laid out the situation properly. If not, correct me.

I know there are at least 4 or 5 guys here that would be able to put you on
the right track.

Would you like some help to resolve the problem?


The problem may have been due to the heat, but I don't remember the
temperature when I first had the problem. Most folks thought the problem
then was caused by having the trailer connected to house wiring (20 amp).
But this time I was connected to 30 amp. I'm thinking that outside temp may
be the common theme to both problems.

Sure!

John,
A 20 amp circuit when properly installed can handle a 20 amp load, and
a 30 amp circuit can handle a 30 amp load. That doesn't say the source
is providing proper frequency or voltage. What we are thinking here is a
voltage sag for various reasons, or short cycle might have caused higher
current draw due to not enough time for excessive head pressure to bleed
off between cycles. Your AC unit may or may not have built in short
cycle protection or it might not be working. You can test this by
running the AC and quickly shutting it of then on again. There should be
a 3 to 5 minute delay before the compressor starts again. The conditions
that precipitated your failures may not be easy for your dealer to
replicate. He may have to ask you to leave your rig at his service
department for an extended period for troubleshooting, and even then he
might not see the problem if it is caused by a power source.
If I were in your shoes I would take the time to learn about AC wiring
and problem solving. Also an overview of how the air conditioner works
would help you a lot.

Jim/Raphael


The manual tells me to get it serviced on an annual basis, and that's about
it. There is no information on wiring, etc, except for the installation
instructions. Apparently, Dometic, which makes just about everything for
travel trailers, doesn't want anyone other than itself messing with the
innards of the AC. I did check the coils and filters, but they've been used
hardly at all and were very clean.

I understand about the voltage variances. I'll take a multimeter next time
I go out. I agree that the dealer won't be able to replicate the
conditions. They will check that the output is 20 degrees less than the
input. If that is true, then it passes and no further checks are made. I'm
thinking the trip to the dealer's would be a waste of gas.

I just tried running the AC, turning it off, and then back on. The
compressor did not delay in starting. So apparently the short cycle
protection is non existent or not working.

Tomorrow I'll give the Dometic folks a call and see what they have to say.

Thanks for the feedback, Jim.

As others have mentioned, the two most likely causes are either low

controller.

Excessive cycling can be caused by poor air flow among other things -
clogged filter, fan speed too low, etc.


When I got the circuit breaker, the service guy at the dealership
mentioned
that on hot, humid days the fan should always be going full blast. Now I

You also need a circuit breaker with a slow trip curve. I think it is a "C"

Well, if JohnH is an example of an "Army Engineer", then I guess you
can file it next to "Army Intelligence" in the book of oxymorons.


Just think though. He did his job a hell of a lot better than you
could.

Highly doubful.

Your competence is in question as well. You've posted some pretty
foolish notions recently.



Typical. I post some things you disagree with and suddenly my competence

Guess what? I couldn't care less.


That's because you are too stupid to care.


I had to be smart all my life. Now that I can, I love being stupid.
I get to type on a computer arguing with other stupid people.

Harry has succeeded in his efforts and brought out the worst in you.
You should be ashamed of yourself for falling so low.


Simply following his lead. Stupid, you know.

I just tried running the AC, turning it off, and then back on. The
compressor did not delay in starting. So apparently the short cycle
protection is non existent or not working.


Tomorrow I'll give the Dometic folks a call and see what they have to say.


Thanks for the feedback, Jim.

Any air conditioning guy can add the time delay. *They are not expensive.
It will extend the life of your compressor and will help prevent nuisance
circuit breaker tripping.

I can't believe that there are idiots on this planet stupid enough to
think that because someone is an engineer in a completely different
field, that they should know everything about HVAC, electrical, and
just exactly how well the power is conditioned at each and every
campground!!!


A reasonable person would expect that an engineer in ANY field would
have at least a small aptitude for learning and understanding very
simple concepts in another field. Especially when the simple concepts
are learned and understood pretty easily by a lay person of average
intelligence. Just about anybody standing in line at the checkout of
Home Depot could handle this.- Hide quoted text -

IF that person were so inclined. So tell me, what exactly IS the line
condition at the particular RV park where John was?


*It would take a team of electrical Engineers from M.I.T. several
weeks to determine that. It's VERY complicated, dontcha know...- Hide quoted text -

Well, if you're so damned smart, TELL ME. What was the cause of John's
problem? How do you KNOW what the cause is? What data did you use to
determine said cause?


I never once said I had a firm diagnosis. You are an ignorant **** who
can't even keep track of what you are yammering about.

From JohnH's posts, and his buying of a circuit breaker just because
it made him feel like he was addressing the problem, it's clear that
he needs some instruction on basic troubleshooting. Knowing how to
trouble shoot is completely separate from having knowledge in any
particular area. It's a skill he, and very obviously, you, lack.- Hide quoted text -

You know nothing about me. But, I see that you understand you are an
idiot for thinking that because someone has expertise in a certain
field that they should know about any other field. Hence the return to
gutter trash name calling.

Well, I admit to having a disadvantage. You see, in my communications with
others during my life so far I didn't have the vast vocabulary containing
foul mouthed, vulgar, and insulting words that people like you and Harry
have in your hip pocket, ready to use in a disagreement or to impress
others. I never had to learn or use them to impress anybody or resolve
differences of opinions.

So, I am learning, doing catch-up, if you will. Meanwhile, I've enlisted
the aid of one of Harry's idols:

"You starvelling, you eel-skin, you dried neat's-tongue, you bull's-pizzle,
you stock-fish--O for breath to utter what is like thee!-you tailor's-yard,
you sheath, you bow-case, you vile standing tuck!"

I have 1 filter I've named "3 salted nuts". In it I have don jim saltine
and the many faces of WAFA. That cuts 70 percent of the useless crap.
Try it. You might like it.
