the house i recently moved into has central air, when we were prepping for a second elec box for my fish tank we disconnected the elec stove 220 breaker to run to the second box, what we didn't realize is that this 220 line went to the condenor fan/pump outside. so it's hot out and i wanted to turn on the a/c.......not cold.
i realized the problem and reconnected the original breaker to the 220 line the way it was.....or i think so.
there is the middle uninsulated wire which i remember went to nuetral? (the buss bar in the box) the there is an insulated black and an insulated white, both of these wires went to the large breaker, one on one "pole" the black on the other.......the main in from outside going to the poles are red and black, the red main is on the left side.
it's a/c voltage so if these 2 wires are reversed then the fan will turn one way or the other.....which it does.
is the fan supposed to blow into the condensor or pull air out of it?
the a/c works either way, but i had a big buildup of ice on the condensor pump after a few hours.
i know the "hire a proffesional" warnings i'm going to get, but i know what NOT to do......i have big respect for electricity
thanks
