Overloads

Overloads from Cedars HVAC protect compressors and motors from overheating or excessive current. These safety devices open the electrical circuit when temperature or amperage rises beyond their rating, then may reset automatically or require replacement after the fault is corrected. Compressor overloads are commonly mounted at the common terminal beneath the protective cover, while motor overloads may be integrated into starters or controls. Select an overload by equipment model, motor or compressor current rating, voltage, terminal style, reset type, and approved cross-reference. Do not bypass an overload; identify problems such as low voltage, locked rotor, dirty coils, or failed capacitors. Cedars HVAC offers dependable sourcing for technician replacement inventories.
