Start-protect (thermal) relay for refrigerator compressor QD series (models 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16 / 18)
QD series start-protect relay is a universal protective and starting element designed for safe start-up and continuous protection of household refrigeration compressors from overcurrents, overheating, and voltage surges. The relay combines the functions of a PTC (Posistor) starting element and thermal protection, promptly disconnecting power to the compressor in case of motor jamming, voltage drop, or emergency temperature rise.
Key advantages and features:
- Comprehensive compressor protection: Prevents burnout of operating and starting windings of the electric motor in case of rotor jamming, increased load, or voltage surges in the network.
- Wide range of power modifications: The QD relay line covers the entire power range of household refrigeration compressors – from small (1/8 HP) to powerful freezers (1/2 HP).
- Fast and reliable start-up: The built-in PTC element provides a smooth and precise supply of the starting pulse to the auxiliary winding.
- Easy replacement: Standard wedge/plug mounting allows for quick replacement of a burnt-out relay without modifying the refrigerator's wiring.
- High reliability and heat resistance: The housing is made of non-conductive flame-retardant plastic, resistant to heat and compressor vibrations.

Expert tip for selection: To correctly choose the relay model, be sure to check the operating power (in watts or horsepower HP) and the rated operating current of your compressor. Installing a higher power relay will reduce protective properties, while a lower power one will lead to false triggers and refrigerator shutdown.
