Product details
Danfoss Compressor Start Relay | 117U6010
Product Description:
The 117U6010 is a critical component in the electrical startup sequence of a compressor. In the UAE’s demanding climate, where HVAC and refrigeration units must perform under extreme ambient heat, this relay ensures that the compressor motor receives the necessary torque to start reliably every time. By managing the engagement of the start winding, it protects the motor from electrical surges and prevents overheating during the high-stress startup phase. This relay is a standard maintenance item for professional HVAC technicians in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, commonly used in commercial refrigeration, large bottle coolers, and light air conditioning units to ensure consistent performance and equipment longevity.
Key Features & Benefits:
- High-Torque Starting: Facilitates reliable compressor starts even under the high-pressure conditions typical of the UAE summer.
- Internal Protection: Carefully disconnects the start circuit once the motor reaches speed, safeguarding the internal windings from damage.
- Robust Middle East Design: Built to withstand the frequent cycling and high temperatures found in UAE mechanical rooms and outdoor housings.
- OEM Precision: As a genuine Danfoss part, it offers a perfect electrical match for compatible compressors, ensuring safety and efficiency.
- Simplified Field Service: Features a standardized connection interface for quick and secure installation by UAE maintenance teams.

FAQs:
- Q: Why is it important to use a genuine 117U6010 relay in Dubai?
- A: Non-genuine relays may not disconnect the start winding at the correct time, leading to motor burnout—a costly failure in the intense UAE heat.
- Q: Can humidity in coastal UAE areas affect this relay?
- A: While the relay is robust, it should always be housed within the compressor’s terminal box to protect it from the high humidity found in cities like Sharjah or Fujairah.
- Q: Is this relay compatible with all Danfoss compressors?
- A: No, it is specific to certain reciprocating models. Always cross-reference the code 117U6010 with your compressor’s nameplate before ordering in the UAE.
