Default Arcing on connection to cap on Trane A/C compressor

That's a pretty big compressor. Back in 90, were scrolls available? Or maybe
rotary? Or did you have to put in a newer piston unit?

I bet the energy bill went down.

Around 1990, I came across an very old
Westinghouse condensing unit with a pancake compressor in it which
appeared to be 1950's and it was still cooling alright ; they wanted
me to replace it to avoid a sudden breakdown and to save on
electricity . It was a 3 ton capacity but the physical dimensions
were approx. 5' wide x 5' long x 5.5' high . It was so heavy i
had to cut it up into 3 pieces .
