← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when thermal overload happens in split HVAC compressor?
A)System shuts down automatically✓
B)Refrigerant flow rate increases
C)Coil temperature rapidly decreases
D)Compressor operates less efficiently
💡 Explanation
If the HVAC compressor overheats, the thermal overload protection trips due to excessive heat; this initiates a circuit break via the bimetallic strip mechanism, therefore the entire system shuts down rather than running inefficiently or altering its cooling capacity.
