Zodiac y30-0020-r Thermal Overload Protector

Product Description

The ZODIAC y30-0020-r is a thermal overload protector designed to safeguard pool and spa equipment motors from damage caused by excessive heat or current draw. When motor operating temperatures exceed safe limits, this component interrupts the circuit to prevent winding burnout and motor failure. It is a direct-replacement part sourced under the ZODIAC brand and is typically installed by licensed pool service technicians during motor repair or preventive maintenance procedures.

This thermal overload protector is suited for residential and light commercial pool and spa applications where motor protection is required. It is commonly found in pump motor assemblies used in filtration, circulation, and booster systems. Technicians replace this part when a motor trips repeatedly on thermal overload or when the existing protector has failed and the motor will not start or run.
