Supco RO81 Relay Overload

Product Description

The Supco RO81 is a combination relay and overload replacement component used in single-phase hermetic compressor applications. It combines the start relay and overload protector into a single unit, simplifying installation and reducing the number of components required during a service call. Constructed from ABS material, this part is a direct OEM-style replacement designed for HVAC and refrigeration technicians who need a reliable, drop-in solution when servicing compressors in residential and light commercial equipment.

The RO81 is suited for use in refrigeration and air conditioning systems that use small hermetic compressors. Typical install scenarios include refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, and similar sealed compressor units. Technicians replacing a failed start relay, overload, or both components will find this combination unit a straightforward substitution for the original parts.

Installation Notes

Installation of relay overload components should be performed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician. Disconnect power to the unit completely before removing or installing any compressor components. The relay must be oriented correctly per the compressor terminal layout to ensure proper start and run operation. Refer to the equipment service manual for terminal identification before proceeding.
