How'd you blow it up? Let me know.

ONe time I blew up a hard start kit trying to get an air conditioner to run (AC my first love, elevators my second love). They are used to start a locked compressor == bad start winding, whatever. I've done it many times before and they work great. I put it on pushed in the contactor and BOOM! Acid and stuff everywhere. Then the wiring caught fire and I ran.

Also burnt up 3 boards in an MCE Legacy control....jumped something to ground (done it many times before) and put it on the 2 bus terminal strip. Ooops. Looking for fire extinguisher. Ordered boards, had it running the next day!
