💥 Terminal damage like this is usually the result of:

• Loose or corroded connections
• Voltage imbalance or phase loss
• Overheating over time with no protection kick-in

In this case, it looks like the damage had been building for a while — likely unnoticed until complete failure. This kind of burnout doesn’t just take out the compressor… it contaminates the whole system.

✅ Key takeaway: Regular maintenance and monitoring can catch early signs like discolored wires, high amp draw, or abnormal noise — before it becomes a full burnout.
