An over current protection device that surely prevents a burnout by opening a power supply circuit to an electric compressor upon an over current, includes a heater which generates heat by a current flowing through the electric compressor, a first over current relay unit which is serially connected to the heater, is thermoelectrically coupled thereto, and includes a first bimetal contact piece which opens a first contact at a temperature equal to or more than a first temperature, and recovers the first contact at a temperature lower than the first temperature and higher than 0 DEG C, and a second over current relay unit which is serially connected to the heater, is thermoelectrically coupled thereto, and includes a second bimetal contact piece which opens a second contact at a temperatureequal to or higher than a second temperature higher than the first temperature, and recovers the second contact only at a temperature lower than 0 DEG C, where both the first over current relay unit and the second over current relay unit open the power supply circuit to the electric compressor.
