    And if the motor is grounded, you can have a nice big arc and a bunch of molten copper in your face or on your arms in the few milli seconds before the breaker trips. At my work, it's immediate grounds for getting fired. Its' a good visual indicator, but a bad idea to push it in manually. There's other, better ways ot trobuelshoot without having to manually push in a contactor.... like ummm using a jumper wire or troubleshooting the controls first.

    Stop bashing us fishermen. We're not as bad as we smell.
    There are a few fishing sites I frequent, one in particular, where guys are always looking for free advice about ..............(fill in the blank). I find it quite comical. Why would anyone ask a fishing site for hvac advice??? It happens all the time. Almost as stupid as asking fishing/boating advice on an hvac forum

    For those of you who care, believe it or not, I'm actually a professional bass fisherman. At least that's what they tell me. Although I have made much more money in hvac than fishing. Not ready to quit my day job.

    Unfortunately or Fortunately

    You don't need to be a pro to catch a fish or fix an air conditioner.

    I wasn't going to say anything but this about sums it up.

    I love watching HVAC help threads on other boards totally unrelated to the trade. Some of the responses are down right hilarious. I will usually let them go unless I see some dangerous advice.

    I frequent a bunch of other boards pertaining to my hobbies... I once watched a thread where a guy had a gas boiler that wouldn't stay fired. By the time I got to the thread they had him jumping out every safety on the unit and he said he could smell it burning up, someone told him to add fresh city water to cool it down... I lost it, and typed my response in bold red letters in the hopes that he would see it in time. Lucky for him he did and took my advice to call a pro after telling him what could have happened.

    Fishing advice needs to stay on fishing boards run by fishing pros, HVAC advice needs to be left to HVAC pros.
