ICM Controls Hard Start Kit Motor Strt Rly UMSRE50

The ICM Controls UMSRE50 is a universal motor start relay and hard start kit for single phase hermetic compressors, providing starting assistance across a range of compressor sizes.

Universal hard start kits use a solid state or adaptive relay arrangement rather than the fixed potential relay found in dedicated kits. The advantage is coverage. A single part number serves a range of compressor capacities, which reduces the number of items a service vehicle must carry and increases the chance that a starting complaint can be resolved on the first visit.

The trade off is that universal devices are selected to suit a range rather than optimised for one compressor. Where a specific kit matched to the compressor is available and the fault is understood, the dedicated part remains the better long term fit. Where the compressor is unusual, the original kit is unavailable, or the call is urgent, a universal device restores operation promptly.

Installation is a matter of connecting the device in the compressor start circuit according to the wiring supplied. Mount it clear of the compressor body and any hot discharge line, in a position where vibration will not chafe the leads.

Confirm the compressor is single phase, verify the capacity range covered, and establish why the compressor is starting poorly before fitting. Starting assistance treats a symptom, and low voltage, a weak run capacitor, or unequalised pressures are common underlying causes.
