Product details
Danfoss Compressor Start Relay | 117U6001
Product Description:
The 117U6001 is an essential electrical component that manages the startup phase of the compressor motor. In the UAE’s intensive cooling environment, where refrigeration units must maintain stable temperatures despite high ambient heat, this relay ensures that the start winding is energized only for the necessary duration to reach operating speed. Protecting the motor from electrical stress, the 117U6001 is a critical spare part for technicians servicing water dispensers, domestic refrigerators, and small commercial display cases in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Its robust construction is designed to withstand the thermal demands and frequent cycling common in Middle Eastern applications.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Precision Motor Starting: Facilitates a clean and reliable start for the compressor, even during high-demand periods in the UAE summer.
- Winding Protection: Automatically disconnects the start winding once the motor is up to speed, preventing overheating and potential motor failure.
- Climate-Ready Design: Engineered to maintain stable electrical performance in the high-humidity and high-temperature conditions of the UAE.
- Genuine Danfoss Quality: Ensures full compatibility with Danfoss reciprocating models, offering a safer and longer-lasting alternative to universal relays.
- Compact Plug-on Installation: Designed for direct mounting on the compressor terminals, allowing for fast and secure replacement during field service in Dubai.

FAQs:
- Q: Will the 117U6001 relay work with any brand of compressor in the UAE?
- A: No, this relay is specifically calibrated for the electrical characteristics of Danfoss motors. For reliable operation in Dubai, always match the relay to the compressor manufacturer’s specifications.
- Q: What are the signs of a failing 117U6001 relay?
- A: If your refrigerator or cooler is making a clicking sound but the compressor won’t run, or if the unit is humming and then cutting out, the relay likely needs replacement.
- Q: Is this relay resistant to the voltage fluctuations sometimes seen in UAE industrial areas?
- A: While designed for standard 220-240V grids, using a genuine Danfoss relay provides better tolerance and protection for your motor than low-quality generic parts.
