couldn't a large charged capacitor show a presence of electricity with all the power shut off?
I am sorry , i am not mechanically inclined , and i have no idea of what is a capacitor is ....aaarrrghhhh
What i know is that electricity runs in the wire of the compressor while all breakers are off , had to unplug trailer from shore power for them to work on the A/C
They have checked if power comes and leaves the breakers when they are off , and for sure they can read power in the breaker box after everything is turned off ..
Puzzling for me because i cannot comprehend anything with power ..lol.
More puzzling for them because it is their field of work ..lol.

Your puzzled and the tech is also???? You need to explain
1. How with power off you could get any power at all
2. There is NOTHING-NOTHING in the RV or appliances that can cause a Power Surge
3. WHAT is the problem with the AC system?
4. The system uses 12 volts to power the AC controls. The 120 is just to run the Fan Motor and the Compressor
5. Why was the tstat replaced? Failure of a tstat is rare
6. 10 years old, did he replace the burned out compressor wire? WHERE was it burned? At the 3 pins on the compressor or at the Circuit board relay? Doug
