4-3 Over Load Protector (OLP)
1. Define
(1) The OLP (OVERLOAD PROTECTOR) is attached to the Compressor and protects the motor by opening the circuit to
the motor if the temperature rises and activating the bimetal spring in the OLP.
(2) When high current flows to the compressor motor, the Bimetal works by heating the heater inside the OLP, and the OLP
protects the Motor by cutting off the current flowing to the Compressor Motor.
2. Role
(1) The OLP is attached to the sealed compressor used for
the refrigerator. It prevents the motor coil from being
started in the compressor.
(2) For normal operation of the OLP, do not turn the
adjustment screw of the OLP in any way.
