1.AC HP of Toshiba and Panasonic? Was Toshiba inherited as is or newly installed over an older AC with lower HP?
2. AC point newly added or existing?
3. What other circuitry shares the same fuse from the electrical db with the AC point? What's the fuse rating? This one needs the home manual from developer that shows circuitry if provided else need to test trip one by one to isolate. Question is whether it shares w other demanding appliance on the same circuit unbeknownst to you.
4. How old is the electrical cabling since before the AC was installed? Was it recently renovated and installed?
5. Location of the problematic AC compressors? Any sign of lightning activity striking the house even when AC not in use?
6. House location relative to others - how is powered distributed - this one more about voltage sag/dip but other components in the house could be affected as well besides the AC if this was the issue.
1. one horsepower. toshiba was inherited. it was an old model and operate fine previously. one day, it just died. panasonic replaced it later.
2. existing.
3. it only powers the aircon power point and 2 normal points in the living room (which is normally not used). fuse rating = 16A.
4. 25 years old
5. compressor is under the roof, protected from rain and sun. if there's sever thunderstorm, whenever there's lightning, 90% the main circuit breaker (the one that trips off the whole house power) will open-trip.
*also check out my measurement on post#1200.
