Tecumseh K90-90 Overload Kit
The Tecumseh K90-90 Overload Kit is a critical compressor protection component engineered for high-demand HVACR systems. As a primary thermal overload protector, this kit is designed to monitor the internal motor temperature and current draw, effectively breaking the electrical circuit if a locked rotor or high amperage condition occurs. This prevents catastrophic winding failure and ensures the mechanical integrity of Tecumseh compressors in commercial and residential applications. The kit facilitates precise trip settings (typically 16-20 FLA) to handle transient surges without nuisance tripping, maintaining system uptime during high ambient operations.
For field technicians, the Tecumseh K90-90 serves as an exact OEM replacement part, ensuring electrical compatibility with existing start components and control wiring. By replacing a worn or sluggish overload relay, you mitigate the risk of intermittent power loss or complete compressor burnout. Integrating this kit during a preventative maintenance overhaul provides an essential layer of safety protection for the hermetic compressor, safeguarding against voltage fluctuations and system overloads.
Key Benefits:- Precise Thermal Monitoring: Actively senses motor heat to prevent insulation breakdown.
- Optimized Trip Settings: Calibrated for 16-20 full load amps (FLA) to support reliable compressor performance.
- Direct OEM Fitment: Eliminates cross-referencing errors by using genuine Tecumseh parts.
- System Longevity: Prevents overcurrent damage, extending the lifecycle of the refrigeration system.
- Is the K90-90 compatible with all Tecumseh models? No, it is specifically matched to compressors requiring this exact trip curve and amperage rating. Verify the model number and serial data before installation.
- How do I test a suspected faulty overload? Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the overload terminals. If the circuit remains open at room temperature, the relay has failed and requires immediate replacement.
- Does this kit include the start relay? This is a dedicated overload kit; however, if your start relay shows signs of pitting or arcing, it is standard practice to replace both components simultaneously.
