Answer
If you have a heat pump system, YES the compressor should run. You can find out if the system is a heat pump usually by looking at the thermostat. Heat pump thermostats usually have "Cool-Off-Heat-Emergency Heat" on the system switch. Another way would be to feel the air coming out of the outside unit when the heat is on. If the air coming out feels very cold, then it's a heat pump.
even if you have a heat pump, the only way the in door unit should be producing heat is if you are all electric if you are gas the heat pump should lockout to prevent the persure from getting to high causing the indoor coil to blow up.

What should you do if your residential AC outside unit fan will come on and the compressor will only come on for a second and then shut off and the unit is not throwing a breaker?
Call an HVAC repairman. You're probably low on freon and a protection system is keeping the compressor from burning up. Sounds like to me it is a protection device. Probably an internal overload on the compressor. Have you checked the outside coils they may be blocked with dirt? This would cause the compressor to go out on overload.
What does it mean when the breaker keeps throwing on the hvac?
The HVAC is trying to draw more current than what the nameplate says it should.

What gauge wire you would use to wire a 5kw heater hvac?
At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.

Is it a central unit? check and see if the fan and compressor are running in the outdoor unit. The system may be low on freon or the compressor may not be running. It is best to call a qualified HVAC technician.
How do you test a Compressor if good on HVAC unit?
With an ohm-meter. Check for continuity in the RUN and START windings, and also from the terminals to compressor case for shorting. There should be continuity in the windings and no continuity from windings to compressor case.
What is an hvac and where can I locate it on my heater?
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.

Compressor outlet to metering device inlet.
Hvac is not giving cool air?
Check the filter first -Improvement- The filter would only equate to less air flow through the vents. Here are some suggestions. -When you turn your thermostat to cooling, does the fan on the outdoor compressor kick on? If not, you need to check the capacitor in your unit. Also, check the fuses to the disconnect. If yes; -Check the refrigerant charge to your compressor. If you don't know how to do this, call a licensed HVAC technician.
