First evaluation the customer system was no longer running outside but the indoor was. The customer stated that the breaker for the condenser was tripping even when they reset it. I started by taking the capacitor which was good. I unwired the compressor and left the fan connected and turned on the condenser and the breaker did not trip indicating that the compressor is grounded. I confirmed by testing each terminal to ground and the start winding was the problem. The customer system is from 2012 and they agreed to have a project manager come out tomorrow 9 June first thing in the morning to talk about replacement.
