The Tecumseh K90-56 Overload Kit is an indispensable component utilized in HVAC systems to safeguard compressors against electrical overload situations. Designed specifically to work with Tecumseh compressors, this kit includes an overload relay along with other necessary installation components. The compressor motor's electrical current is constantly monitored by the overload relay in order for it to function. In order to shield the compressor from harm, the relay quickly cuts off the power supply if it notices any surges or excessive current. The K90-56 Overload Kit, whether used in air conditioners, refrigeration systems, or heat pumps, guarantees safe and dependable compressor performance. Its well-thought-out design and sturdy build increase system longevity and performance while lowering the chance of compressor failure and requiring less maintenance.

Product Description:  An overload kit is an essential component designed to protect the HVAC system's compressor from electrical overloads and potential damage.  The core feature of an overload kit is thermal protection. It includes a temperature-sensitive device that monitors the compressor's temperature. Many overload kits have an automatic reset function. Once the temperature returns to a safe range, the overload kit resets itself, allowing the compressor to resume normal operation. Some overload kits offer a manual reset option for added safety. This requires manual intervention by a technician to reset the overload, which can be useful for diagnosing and addressing potential issues.  In the event of an overload or overheating, the Tecumseh Compressor K90-56 Overload Kit can disconnect the electrical power to the compressor. This action prevents further electrical damage to the system. The overload relay is the primary component of the kit and is responsible for monitoring the electrical current flowing through the compressor motor. It trips or opens the circuit when it detects excessive current, protecting the motor from damage. A run capacitor is included in the overload kit. The run capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to assist in the continuous operation of the compressor motor. The kit may come with a pre-wired harness or set of wires that connect the overload relay, start relay, and run capacitor to the compressor and the electrical supply. The Overload Kit For Tecumseh Part# K90-56 is an integral component in HVAC systems that offers vital protection to the compressor motor against electrical overload and overheating conditions.
