Tecumseh K90-157 Overload Kit
The Tecumseh K90-157 Overload Kit is a field-ready solution for protecting high-performance refrigeration compressors from thermal and electrical failure. As a direct OEM compressor protection kit, it includes a precision-calibrated bimetallic overload relay, overcurrent release, and a heavy-duty bimetallic strip designed to monitor amperage draw and internal temperature in real time. This kit is critical for prevent rotor burnouts during high-head pressure events or low-voltage spikes. The inclusion of an integrated reset button and a specialized mounting bracket ensures a secure fit on the compressor terminal box. For technicians performing compressor component replacement, the provided wiring diagram streamlines integration into the existing control circuit, ensuring the Tecumseh HVAC motor protector restores original factory safety specifications. Regular maintenance with this hermetic compressor overload ensures the thermal trip points remain accurate, protecting the system against sustained locked rotor amps (LRA) and preventing costly localized winding damage during demanding recovery cycles.
Key Benefits:- Precision Current Monitoring: Automatically trips the circuit if the compressor motor amp draw exceeds safe operating limits.
- Thermal Protection: The integrated bimetallic strip responds to excessive compressor housing temperatures, preventing overheating.
- Simplified Installation: Comes as a complete compressor repair kit with a specific mounting bracket and wiring schematic for rapid field replacement.
- Manual/Auto Reset Integration: Features a durable reset button to restore operation once the underlying thermal or electrical fault is cleared.
Is the K90-157 compatible with all Tecumseh models? This kit is engineered for specific Tecumseh reciprocating compressors; always verify the electrical rating and cross-reference your bill of materials (BOM) before installation.
How do I know if the overload is the point of failure? If the compressor is drawing normal amperage but tripping on heat, or failing to start despite receiving power at the terminals, the overload relay may be out of calibration or damaged.
Does this kit include the start relay? This is a dedicated overload kit; if you are troubleshooting a start-up issue, you may also need to inspect the potential relay or start capacitor separately.
Disclaimer: While we strive for 100% accuracy, product data and specifications are subject to change. Please contact our team to confirm compatibility or technical details before purchasing.
