A built-in temperature-activated bimetal disc opens the overload contacts when operating temperatures exceed safe limits, then resets automatically once the motor cools. Rated for 1\/5 to 1\/2 HP at 240 VAC and 1\/10 to 1\/4 HP at 120 VAC, with a locked rotor amperage range of 18.5 to 22.0 amps, this overload is suited for a wide range of small compressor and motor applications. It carries UL and CSA approval for use in North American service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ov38 is used in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning compressors, as well as small single-phase motors where thermal overload protection is required. HVAC and refrigeration technicians install this overload as a direct replacement when the original overload protector has failed due to overheating, nuisance tripping, or physical damage. Its universal design makes it a practical stock item for field service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature-activated bimetal disc opens contacts under excessive heat conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 1\/5 to 1\/2 HP at 240 VAC and 1\/10 to 1\/4 HP at 120 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocked rotor amp range: 18.5 to 22.0 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal replacement design fits a broad range of compressor and motor applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL and CSA approved for use in North American installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a universal OEM-style replacement overload protector for small single-phase compressors and motors in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or refrigeration mechanic. Disconnect and lock out all power to the unit before removing or installing the overload protector. Ensure the replacement overload HP and amperage ratings match or are appropriate for the motor being protected. Verify secure mechanical and electrical contact seating before restoring power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Overload Protector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorsepower Rating at 240 VAC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/5 to 1\/2 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorsepower Rating at 120 VAC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/10 to 1\/4 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocked Rotor Amps\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18.5 to 22.0 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 120 to 240 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: UL, CSA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SUPCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: ov38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SUPCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138338685234,"sku":"OV38","price":15.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305531329.jpg?v=1778253727","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/supco-ov38-compressor-overload-protector-1-2-hp-240v","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
