Tecumseh K90-51 Overload Kit
The Tecumseh K90-51 Overload Kit is a critical electrical safeguard designed for high-performance hermetic compressors, specifically compatible with AJA4492AXD and AJA4492YXD models. As an essential compressor terminal component, this kit monitors the motor’s current draw and temperature in real-time. Whether you are performing an emergency AC repair or maintaining industrial refrigeration systems, using OEM Tecumseh parts ensures the internal motor windings are protected from thermal stress and excessive amperage surges. This kit is built to handle 208-230V, single-phase applications, providing precise caloric response to trip the circuit before catastrophic permanent failure occurs. For veterans in the field, this HVAC overload protector replaces worn-out or high-resistance bi-metal discs, restoring reliable cycling and preventing compressor motor burnout under high-load conditions. Integrating this external compressor overload during a service call is a standard procedure to ensure system longevity and prevent repeated nuisance tripping.
Key Benefits- Precise Thermal Protection: Engineered to match the specific current curves of Tecumseh AJA series compressors, preventing winding damage.
- Enhanced System Resilience: Acts as a primary defense against phase loss or locked rotor conditions.
- Simplified Installation: Designed for rapid field replacement on 208-230V systems, reducing downtime for contractors.
- Hardware Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for use with standard Tecumseh protective terminal covers and bale straps.
- Can I use the K90-51 on 115V models? No, this kit is specifically calibrated for 208-230V/60Hz/1Ph electrical configurations to ensure accurate tripping.
- How do I verify if this overload is failing? Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the terminals when the compressor is cool; lack of continuity indicates a tripped or failed component.
- Is this compatible with other compressor brands? This is an OEM part designed for Tecumseh units; using it on non-specified models may lead to improper protection levels.
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.
