A/C

Bell,
Congratulations on the new house. Hope it didn't cut into your transmission project.
Anyway, you should have 4 wires between the A/C and the panel and those 4 wires should go through a fused disconnect switch outside. If you don't have one you can get one cheap at HD and it will protect you condensor from spikes or single phasing. The 4 wires are black & red which connect to the 2-pole breaker in the panel, a white wire which connects to the neutral in the panel ans a smaller bare ground wire. If you have the disconnect swtch box outside the white and bare ground both connect to the grounding lug on the box. The two hots, black and red, tie into the leads from the condensor. If yo don't have one, invest on an automatic thermostat also.

John
