I have a Payne HVAC PH10JA042-C It's a 10seer 3.5ton, It had a number of leaks That I fixed, After fixing I pulled a vacuum It haled the vacuum for over and hour. Charged it. It seemed to be working But after a short time it stopped. The gauges low and high equaled out with the low side slightly higher. Could this be to low of a charge?

It's normal for your gauges to equalize after compressor shut down. What was the psi reading on the gauges when equalized? Was the system froze over with ice? Little more info will help.

No it didn't freeze, up it would run for about 30mins with the gauges read about 50 on low side and 110 on hight side. The out side temp was about 78, then the low side reading was about 110 and the high side was about 100psi. I put a temp gauge at one of my vents and it got down to 74 deg. I was thinking that the pressure was to low and the compressor was shutting down. Thanks T-TOP

The pressures look a little low but not low enough to shut the compressor off after 30 min of run time.
