Tecumseh K90-20 Thermal Overload

The Tecumseh K90-20 Thermal Overload is a temperature-sensitive protection component that disconnects power when excessive heat or current is detected and preventing damage to the compressor motor. Its internal thermal element reacts to rising temperatures by opening the circuit and automatically restores power once safe conditions return in the HVAC systems. The unit attaches directly to the designated compressor terminal arrangement, allowing proper monitoring of motor conditions. Fast response to abnormal load levels limits heat buildup, reduces unnecessary load on connected parts, improves electrical protection, and ensures stable compressor performance through automatic reset features.
