Anyway...

We're on day 3 of no HVAC at the house. The blower motor nearly blew up and shot burnt rubber smoke through the house which was fun. Thank God for home warranty cause our particular model of hvac uses a proprietary motor that normally costs $600. We only have to pay the $100 deductable. It'll take about 6 days for the hvac tech to order and receive the part.


Holy shit, what a scam. It's basically DRM on furnaces.

Well of course but the hvac is from '91 so it's more annoying than an outrage. Now if this was a model built within the last 15 years, I'd be pissed cause companies should know better at this point. Proprietary shit is less cost effective for them.

It's a task that can be done with any generic electric motor, the fact that it's proprietary, meaning you can only buy it from one source (them), kills the ability, nay, the god-given-right, for a consumer to choose.

Read into "John Deere Tractor DRM". Unfortunately, it's becoming the way of the modern world.

i wonder what exactly is proprietary about it? Is it as simple as the fittings? Perhaps some unique system to power it?

Not sure. The hvac tech was pretty annoyed when he realized cause now they have to order it instead of just grabbing a generic he had back at the office. It seems not all of their stuff is proprietary though. I was able to replace the capacitor in the outdoor unit last year with a generic from Amazon.

eh, i disagree, and i say this as someone who does repair of shit like phones and consoles and whatnot on the side.

it's definately gaining AWARENESS, but we're still pushing a boulder up a muddy slope. Very little concrete, i.e. not on paper, not on a lawyers desk, progress has been made.

I was able to replace the capacitor

So when i was in college (for electronics tech), one of the ""pranks"" we would pull in lab is to swap peoples directional capacitors to the opposite polarity when they left their desk. They'd come back, finish their circuit, power it up, and.....basically, miniature cherry bombs going off in the lab. It was fun for the 4 or 5 days it lasted before teacher clamped down hard on us.

we were a tight crew though so if that was the persons last cap, we'd share around and make sure they could finish their lab.

Damn. Yeah I lack knowledge regarding electricity. It's not something it really have to deal with in my day to day IT outside of distributing power within our racks at our datacenter.

I mean that's more than the average person. Simply knowing the power triangle (Power = Voltage * Amperage) puts you above a lot of people.

I assume you and/or your engineers are optimizing that distro master circuit to have as best power efficiency as you can. Or, you just throw a lot of money at it, akin to stepping on a bug with a steel toe boot.

The magic smoke from a blown capacitor is whatever the dialectric used to be, and probably also vaporized lead from exploding solder.

It's a co-location so we just rent space within the datacenter. The datacenter company leases power and internet to their customers(us).

Basically a server rack has two whips each in different circuits. Each whip has a surge protector connected to it that can handle up to 24v I believe. Each piece of server hardware generally comes with two power supplies so a power cable goes into each surge protector. Then it's a matter of making sure each surge protector doesn't run more than 12v at a time in case of fail over. Just a matter of being redundant all the way done the chain.
