Damn that’s nice. Sure makes troubleshooting heck of a lot easier.
Well done

Nice work. Good job

What happened to it? Did they not have a high voltage terminal block or what?

Must not have had one. The oem probably burnt up and whoever did it must've found what they could at Home Depot Im guessing. I know none of the electrical supply houses around me carry those power distribution blocks, I had to order them.

One thing we do know is they had lots of extra pink wire.

your fixed wiring looks so much better then the before

Thanks!

Also those wires I replaced were the worst crimps I've ever seen. Half of them the guy partially missed the barrel. I could pull out almost all of them. Even a halfway decent crimp you cant pull out for the life of you.

How anybody could do that and even call them self a tradesman is beyond me.

Maby the klucs did it

I could see doing the top way only if the parts were not on hand and it was a emergency to get it going until the correct parts could be installed then rip out the rats nest and do it right like you did

Wow 8 systems on a rack breaker, with no individual breakers!?? That certainly cannot be right, and makes it hard to service. The rack is probably on a 100a breaker right?

Also, did you relocate the switches in the before pic, or is it a different panel or something?

Very neat looking work, I'd just like to see individual breakers for each unit

I guess when 1 compressor shorts out. It takes down the whole rack.
But, your right! Should have a breaker above each contactor.

This is just for the condenser fans. Regardless you're right. I didn't think about that, would've been a great time to add in overcurrent protection. I did not remove any protection devices.

The pressure switches you see at the top of the photo were not being used anymore, so I removed them.

All it takes is one tired guy after 14 hours and a pair of dikes. Or it takes 20 years of multiple offenders with no pride.

With all the pink wire they might have had a little bit of gay pride...
