I arrived to perform a diagnostic service call on an air conditioner. Client complaint, unit will run for 15min then it will kill the power to everything in the house. Found filter completely clogged/removed. Blower cap-14.5/15 ok Clogged condenser coil/washed off Dual cap-33.3/3 rated 35/5 Contactor is pitted. Compressor-8.3 rated 14.1 Refrigerant levels:64/200 37SH LOW/LEAKING. Client wants unit filled. Added 1lb New levels:81/233 16.5SH After I got done filling unit all the power turned off, found 100A main breaker tripped. Breaker is also very hot. Removed breaker panel and found no issues there. There is a burnt electrical smell coming from around the breaker box. Advised client to call an electrician. This issue is not related to the HVAC.
