Tecumseh K90-25 Overload Kit

Tecumseh K90-25 Overload Kit

As an HVACR tech, you know that a stalled compressor or an Amp spike can cook a winding in seconds if your protection doesn't trip. This Tecumseh K90-25 Overload Kit is the professional-grade solution for safeguarding hermetic compressors against excessive current and thermal runaway. Specifically engineered for Tecumseh AKA5510EXA and AKA5510EXD models, this external compressor overload acts as a critical line of defense. By monitoring Full Load Amps (FLA) and internal temperature, the K90-25 prevents localized overheating that leads to insulation breakdown. This OEM replacement kit includes the precision-calibrated thermal overload device and necessary mounting hardware to ensure a secure connection to the hermetic terminal. When you are performing a compressor repair or troubleshooting a tripping system, installing a matched Tecumseh motor protector is the only way to ensure the system operates within its design parameters and avoids catastrophic motor failure during high-head pressure conditions.

Key Benefits
  • Precise Thermal Response: Calibrated to trip during high-amperage scenarios, protecting the motor windings from permanent damage.
  • OEM Compatibility: Designed specifically for use with high-back pressure Tecumseh AKA series compressors, ensuring correct trip-curve alignment.
  • Direct Application: Provides a critical failsafe for 208-230V and 115V configurations, maintaining system reliability under varying load conditions.
  • Rugged Construction: Built to withstand the harsh environment of a refrigeration condensing unit, featuring high-quality contacts for long-term cycling.
Common Questions

Which compressor models are compatible with the K90-25?
This kit is primarily utilized with the AKA5510EXA and AKA5510EXD compressor models. Always verify the cross-reference data in your service manual to match the specific FLA requirements of the motor.

Can I use a generic overload instead of the K90-25?
Using a generic protector can lead to nuisance tripping or, worse, a late trip that fails to protect the windings. Stick with the OEM Tecumseh K90-25 to ensure the trip settings match the motor's internal thermal limits.

Does this kit include the relay?
The K90-25 is an overload-specific kit. If your diagnostic shows a failing start component, you should also inspect the potential relay or start capacitor associated with the AKA series electricals.
