Well damn . . . Power surge or just power drop?

Thinking after the fact, would a whole house surge suppressor have been of help to prevent this? Not guilting , but am interested in one of these mini-split units for my shop and we do not have stable power on a coop grid (lots of such "glitches").

The timing of the "glitch" and the outside unit failure just can't be coincidence.

I agree that looking at the DC main caps is a great idea. Easy to unsolder one end of the cap and check it out with a capacitance meter. Or if "puffed out" you have a very visual indication of failure. It is always something.

I had to round up cows today as they found yet another way out . . .

Feel your pain.
