Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Supco from 3G Electric.
What compressor-starting devices does Supco offer, and what are their typical ratings?
Supco manufactures potential-relay and three-wire mechanical hard-start devices such as the SPP 6 and SPP 8 models, each with 35 amp relay contacts. The CSS-25U is a progressive starter module rated 25A with VDE certification, suited for larger compressor loads. These are designed for systems with or without run capacitors and include voltage-sensing and instant-restart features to limit inrush current and protect motor windings during compression cycles.
Which Supco relays are suitable for refrigeration without run capacitors?
The Supco RO82 relay is rated 1/12–1/2 hp at 115 or 230 VAC and is specified for refrigeration systems that do not use run capacitors. It features Quick Connect and pin-type terminals for direct mounting on standard control boards. This design simplifies installation in retrofit and service scenarios where run-capacitor circuits are not present or have failed.
What refrigerant service valves does Supco supply, and in which sizes?
Supco manufactures piercing valves (COP20001) and perforator cock outlets (COP20002) in standard diameters: 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", and 5/8". Perforator cocks use hex socket head cap screws for secure fastening into refrigerant lines. Both valve types integrate into service manifolds and allow technicians to access or sample refrigerant without breaking primary connections.
How does the Supco SL300TH data logger support HVAC maintenance and compliance?
The SL300TH records temperature and humidity with sampling intervals from 1 second to 18 hours, storing over 10,000 measurements. It includes tamper-proof logging, configurable alarm thresholds with visual indication, and operates on 9V alkaline or lithium batteries for 20+ months. Technicians use it to verify cold-chain integrity, validate thermostat calibration, and document compliance in food service, pharmaceutical, and medical storage environments.
What is the Universal Compressor Door, and when would a technician use it?
The Supco Universal Compressor Door (COP22020) provides external protection and thermal insulation for compressor bodies during service and operation. It is installed over the compressor shell to reduce ambient heat gain in high-temperature environments, improve efficiency, and shield technicians from moving parts during troubleshooting or partial disassembly.
Are Supco controls certified for international or regional standards?
Yes. The Supco CSS-25U progressive starter carries VDE (Verband der Elektrotechnik) certification, confirming compliance with German and European electrical safety standards. This certification supports installation in EU-governed facilities and in OEM designs that mandate European compliance. Standard Supco relays and starters meet HVAC industry voltage and amperage ratings used across North America and global markets.
