I have a central A/C. Around when there was a thunderstorm,
electricity flickered about 2-3 times in our house.

Now our A/C is not working. The inside is all fine, the fan runs

etc.

I am doing investigation and will post in this thread, but the

breaker
popped and any attempt to reset it pops it again. I tried to

measure
amps with my ammeter, it was quite hard to do due to breaker

popping
soon, but the highest measure I got was about 200 amps.

I am going to open up the case now to have a quick look, I will

be
running back and forth. My hope is that it is something simple

like
capacitor shorted, but it easily could be worse (eg motor

shorted).
