All condensing units have thermal overloads built into the motor windings. Some units have external potential relays and current relays. If the unit motor overheats the overloads or relays will open and the motor will stop. The fan motor will continue to run. The unit is cooled by the refrigerant and the condenser fan motor. High refrigerant charge can slug a compressor and cause high heat. Keep the outside and inside coils clean, change filter regularly, don't open doors too much during high humidity/high outside heat conditions and you should be ok. If a motor shuts off because of thermal overload it will come back on in 20-45 minutes automatically. If anything happens to your inside blower fan motor the outside unit will overheat within minutes.

Is the Air Conditioning compressor on my 2003 Chevy Impala suppose to cycle constantly while the Air Conditioning is on?
Yes, this prevents your air conditioning system from freezing over, similar to a frost free fridge. almost every air conditioning system works like this.
What can go wrong on a clutch pressure plate?
i dont know. over heats
What do you do if your laptop over heats?
I don't really know but i think you put something under it.

How can you make a 1996 Saturn air conditioning blow colder air?
Add coolent add some R134a but don't over charge, you will blow the ac compressor seals
What could cause a compression noise in outside air conditioning unit?
Over heating,. Compressor working too nhard because of clogged coils. Clean yutside coil and inside coil unit.
How do you know if thermostat on 2000 grand am needs replacement?
if your car over heats alot then that is a pretty good sign. aslong as it isn't your water pump. but thermostat is a good place to start. if you replace the thermostat and it still over heats. (assuming that is why you are asking) then it could be the water pump.
Will a home air conditioner's compressor work if low on freon?
It will work until it over heats and goes off on thermal protection. After this happens enough times the plastic sheathing on the compressor windings will probably melt and create a short. As for the rest of the system, depending on how much refrigerant you have lost, probably won't have very much cooling going on.
What is the working principle of the drink dispenser?
It operates over a thermal cycle where a gas (like freon) is passed through a compressor and thus becomes hot.This gas then condeses to a liquid as it heats the water container.The condensed liquid again passes through an evapourator and becomes gas again & comes to the compressor to start the process again.
Why when aircondition is on it drains battery?
A Vehicle Air Conditioning System Uses ElectricityWhen the air conditioning switch is turned to the on position two things which use electricity are turned on:The electromagnetic "clutch" which is mounted on the A/C compressor uses electrical current, AND the "blower" motor that circulates air over the A/C evaporator core also uses electricity.
When are body over heats how does your skin helps?
Sweat is water
What does symbolic scribbling over and over mean?
Conditioning of brain/Mind.
