The 15HM family of motor protectors can be applied to unitary air conditioning and heat pump compressors ranging from 1 to 5 HP. They may also be used in commercial motors which must function in destructive or corrosive environments. Its compact and rugged design make it resistant to mechanical shock and suitable for installation directly on motor windings.

Features
– High Reliability – 2 contact ratings
– Optional start winding protection
– Compact and rugged construction
– Meet rotary compressor high side pressure requirements
– Application range – 1 to 5 HP

Line Break Operation

Klixon® 15HM motor protectors are line break automatic reset controls which are wired in series with and mounted on the motor windings. These protectors track winding temperatures and respond to changes in line current to afford protection against the wide variety of overload conditions listed below:

– Running overload
– High/low voltage locked rotor
– Loss of refrigerant charge
– Shorted capacitor
– High discharge temperature

Applications : for motor protection
