Tecumseh K90-22 Overload Kit
The Tecumseh K90-22 Overload Kit is a critical protection component specifically engineered for AKA5470EXA and AKA5512EXD series compressors. This OEM assembly serves as an external circuit protector, designed to monitor current draw and thermal rise during high-demand operation. By accurately sensing locked rotor amps (LRA) and continuous running conditions, the K90-22 motor protector disconnects the compressor from the line voltage before excessive heat can compromise the internal windings. This kit is an essential stock item for field service technicians maintaining R-22 refrigeration systems and commercial air conditioning units. As a direct replacement compressor overload protector, it ensures that your system maintains calibrated trip points, preventing permanent motor failure. Proper installation of this Tecumseh overload replacement is vital for maintaining the electrical integrity of HBP and MBP applications where voltage fluctuations or ambient temperature spikes could otherwise lead to terminal burnouts or catastrophic unit failure.
- Universal Reliability: Fits high-production Tecumseh reciprocating compressors used throughout residential and light commercial HVAC.
- Thermal Response: Calibrated bi-metal disc provides rapid response to overcurrent protection needs.
- Easy Retrofit: Standard mounting footprint allows for fast replacement during emergency service calls.
- System Longevity: Helps prevent expensive compressor replacement by mitigating risks of low-voltage starts or high-head pressure events.
Common Questions:
What compressors are compatible with the K90-22?
This kit is primarily designed for Tecumseh AKA series reciprocating models, specifically the AKA5470EXA and AKA5512EXD. Always verify your BOM number for a precise match.
Does this kit include the mounting spring or cover?
The K90-22 Overload Kit typically includes the motor protector itself and necessary hardware for an external mount. Ensure the original cover is intact to maintain environmental protection.
How do I know if the overload is the problem or the compressor?
Technicians should check for continuity across the overload terminals. If the part is open when cool, the thermal switch has failed and requires replacement with an OEM Tecumseh K90-22.
