Tecumseh K90-39 Overload Kit

Tecumseh K90-39 Overload Kit

The Tecumseh K90-39 Overload Kit is a critical electrical safeguard engineered for high-performance reciprocating compressors, including specific AJA5519EXV and AJD8520EXV series models. This OEM compressor protector utilizes a Klixon thermal overload mechanism to monitor motor current and surface temperature in real-time. By providing a precise break in the electrical circuit during over-amperage or high-heat conditions, the K90-39 prevents permanent winding damage and catastrophic motor failure in refrigeration and AC systems. Designed for 265V/60Hz/1Ph applications, this kit ensures a correct compressor start relay match and maintains the operational integrity of the hermetic terminal. Professional installation is required to ensure proper mounting of the protective terminal cover and bale strap, securing the system against terminal venting or ground faults.

Key Benefits
  • Optimized Motor Protection: Prevents winding burnout by interrupting power during excessive current draw or localized overheating.
  • OEM Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for Tecumseh AJ series compressors to match factory trip curves.
  • System Longevity: Reduces downtime by preventing premature compressor failure in demanding commercial refrigeration environments.
  • Direct Replacement: Simplifies field service with a complete kit containing the necessary overload relay and hardware for secure mounting.
Common Questions

Which compressor models are compatible with the K90-39?
This kit is primarily utilized with Tecumseh AJ series compressors, notably the AJA5519EXV and AJD8520EXV. Always verify the part number against your specific compressor's electrical service data.

Does this kit include the start relay and capacitor?
The K90-39 is an overload protector kit. While it is designed to work in tandem with specific start relays (like the K71-21) and capacitors, this specific SKU focuses on the thermal overload component.

Can I use a universal overload instead of the K90-39?
For Tecumseh hermetic compressors, using the designated OEM overload kit is highly recommended to ensure the trip settings precisely match the motor’s thermal limits and prevent nuisance tripping or under-protection.
