Bard 8402-186BX OLP Compressor Overload Protector 8000-407 MRA12053

The Bard 8402-186BX is a genuine OEM compressor overload protector (OLP) designed for use in Bard wall-mount HVAC systems. Cross-referenced as 8000-407 and MRA12053, this factory-specified component monitors compressor motor current and temperature, interrupting operation if unsafe conditions are detected to prevent motor burnout and compressor failure.

As a direct OEM replacement, the 8402-186BX ensures exact electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original equipment, eliminating guesswork during field service. This overload protector is a critical safety device within the refrigeration circuit, designed to protect the compressor from overcurrent and overtemperature conditions that can result from refrigerant loss, locked rotor events, or abnormal system pressures.

Key Features:

• Genuine Bard OEM compressor overload protector
• Cross-reference: 8000-407 and MRA12053
• Protects compressor from overcurrent and overtemperature conditions
• Direct drop-in replacement — no modifications required
