What Is AC Short Cycling and Why Is It Dangerous in Ragayeb 1
AC short cycling is defined in Ragayeb 1 as the AC unit turning on and off frequently, often cycling every 2-10 minutes. This stresses the compressor significantly and causes major energy waste.
Frequent short cycling leads to severe compressor damage, premature failure, and significantly higher electricity bills. Constant startup draws peak power, potentially increasing energy usage by up to 30% due to excessive wear and tear.
