What is 4-pin refrigerator compressor PTC starter relay ?

A 4-pin refrigerator compressor PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) starter relay is a component used in refrigeration systems, particularly in the starting mechanism of the compressor. The PTC starter relay is responsible for providing the initial high current to start the compressor motor and then regulating the current as the motor begins to run. This process ensures a smooth and controlled start for the compressor, preventing issues associated with excessive current during prolonged operation.
