HVAC Electric Heat Strips and Components: Explained, Voltage Path, Resistance Readings!

If you can't understand this guy, then you are clearly in the wrong field.

I would like to see video covering a heat pump that no matter the temp wants to run aux heat any time the call for heat is active.

I love your videos. As an electrical contractor . OL on the meter stands for (open line). N.O. = normally open as it sits for contacts.

Thanks for reminding!!!

Sooo helpful!!!!!

Good video

I have a question about the high dollar furnace boards. Why do you even need them when you can do both heating and air with a simple thermostat, sequencers and/or relays?

Excellent your explanation, thanks a lot, teacher, Guys if you want to learn, keep watching these videos, really good teacher.

Does this heat strip connect to an entirely different circuit apart from the air handler itself?

do you have a video showing how to change the lennox g-61 ignitor"?

From the transformer to the fan relay is it just supplying 24v when it is called upon?

That looks like a 10kw heating element. How do you determine the limit switch rating? Awesome 👍!!

Nice job

There is no inrush current for resistance heating. The same amperage is felt in circuit when resistance heat is first turned on as it is a minute later, an hour later, and so on.Inrush current occurs in motors, high amp draw to start, than a lower amp draw after up to speed. If ckt. cant handle both heaters coming on at same time, it still wont handle it if they are staggered.

Great video! I didn't see the high-voltage, for the blower motor. Is it usually 240v or 120v?

Thanks for the class..

Thanks

Best tech around

Good evening, in a system just like that one. What cause the blower to run constantly non stop even when system is turn off?

Why did you take down the heat strip video you released today? I was halfway through it and really enjoyed it and wanted to see the rest of it sir

Best channel I’ve ever come across and thanks a million for putting all the effort and time to share your knowledge god bless

thanks another great video , please keep them coming.

Well explained in terms of the components

great job-knowledge never gets old-explaining how things are done-priceless

One of the best channel I have seen I learned so mucho from it thank you for helping other people achieve their gols

Im looking for a good book to purchase for my son on electric heat. Sequencers relays limit switches. Any suggestions on a good book

Good job 👏 👍 👌

Second time watching 10/7/2020

Mind blown. You made it so easy to understand. Especially, the electricity path of travel. Other channels fail to do this.

Where are the quills located on this unit????

good vid. need some help, i'm up north, first freezing cold day today since the winter, -13c. So my heat pump is off, aux heat strips took over in the air handler. It is a Trane 4tee3f37b1000aa, system about 12 years old. Noticed when the aux heat starts, there's a machine gun rapid fire/chatter sound at the air handler, right about where the red 20KW line comes in. i'm not really familiar with relays but could it be relays that turn the strips on and off?? (sounds like a machine gun, fairly loud if i put my ear on the panel). Once the heat gets going and the fan is up to speed, it seems to stop, and then starts again a bit when the heat cycle shuts off. I'm still getting aux heat but not sure if the 4 strips are all working 100%. if i lost a strip or 2 out of 4 would the others continue to work or would they all stop?, Is there a fire hazard if either a strip is burnt or relay coils chattering furiously. Or could this noise be something else like arcing at the strips? If its a relay, how long can it function like this? is failure imminent? i am diy, have diagnosed and fixed blower motor and module before and other basics like outdoor cap.

Why would the heat strips come on every time the heat does? The thermostat setting unchanged, no AUX indication shown.

When something is well explained, it's always easy to understand. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge. !! 👍👍👍

Had my electric meter chekd and it's fine but he said that the heater when we turned it on it was pulling over 100amps.Does this sound possible and if so what would be the cause?Also this is a carrier heat pump and the heat still works but he was saying that it's the culprit for the high bill?

So this is a 2 Heat strip and each pulling 5kw for a total of 10 kw?
So you would need a #8 wire?

Question about the transformer it is normal for the transformer to turn warm or kind of hot ?

Thank you for all your training, you are a very good teacher, I am really learning Thank you so much.

So heat strips don’t need a separate circuit right ? Or do they?

Excellent video thanks i m learning so many things everyday thank you sir

Great video.

if those blue wires are 24v... then shouldnt the blue wires go on the 24v coil of the relay instead of contact terminals???

Why would a coil be glowing(on) with only one side powered with 120v. Other side discomnected....possible short to ground?

Great video. I have your book. This acts like an or gate as far as sequence control. For 3 or 4 element I suppose you just repeat with an additional circuit breaker and the 2 element sequencer. Is there a 3 element sequencer made for 220v circuits ? Gotta wonder, probably not.

Very good video and well explained. Thanks

There is nobody that i have been around that can explain things in a simple to understand manner. I'm so thankful for this channel.

Thank you. was very useful.

Your correct the relay is not needed just run the 24 volts straight to sequencer

Thanks Craig. My progress in my journey has mostly been from you, ty, and HVAC school videos, and of course Jersey Mike.
