Default Auto-breaker installed

It looked so neat before the hack.. (The compressor compartment is under this plate)


Afterwards, it has a kind of Hacked look..

No wires were cut and only one hole was drilled to bolt down the SSR.
So, if anything fails, the old relay can be reinstalled in about 5 minutes.

The current sensor is set for 10.0 amps and seems to be working perfectly.
The system (indoor & outdoor units) should never draw more than 2.4 kW.
Once the sensor trips, the indoor unit will reset and start where it left off,
before the power outage.
