Embraco 513554006-ESP Compressor Overload Protector

The Embraco 513554006-ESP is a genuine OEM overload protector designed to safeguard refrigeration compressor motors from damage caused by excessive electrical current and overheating. This critical protection component is engineered specifically for Embraco fractional horsepower compressors used in residential and commercial refrigeration applications.

Key Features:

• Protects compressor motor windings from damage during low voltage events and hard starting conditions
• Utilizes bimetal disc technology that responds to both current draw and shell temperature
• Automatically resets once the compressor has cooled to safe operating temperature
• Factory-matched to Embraco compressor specifications for optimal protection and reliability
• Genuine Embraco replacement part ensures proper fit and performance

When the compressor experiences high current draw from conditions like low voltage or hard starting, the overload protector's bimetal disc deflects and opens the electrical contacts, immediately removing power from the compressor. Once the unit cools sufficiently, the disc returns to its original position and closes the contacts, allowing the compressor to restart. Using genuine Embraco service parts ensures your compressor operates at factory levels of efficiency, capacity, and reliability.
