Description
The Carrier HN68GP153 Overload/Motor Protector is an essential protective device that shields electrical motors in HVAC applications. In addition to its primary application as a safety device, it measures current that flows through the motor and cuts the circuit in the event that current exceeds a safe level. This intervention helps to avoid motor fatigue and possible failure of other equipment. While fuses are current sensitive devices that blow as a result of sudden increase in current, this is an overload relay. This means that it is intended to respond to steady overloads, which protect the motor from overheating due to high current consumption.
