SYNOPSIS • Introduction • Categories/Kinds of Pressure Switches • Purpose Built Pressure Switches • References
INTRODUCTION • Definition • Working Principle • Construction
CATEGORIES/KINDS OF PRESSURE SWITCHES • Manual vs. Automatic Pressure Switches • Hydraulic and Pneumatic Pressure Switches • Purpose Built Pressure Switches • Air Compressor Pressure Switches • Water Pump Pressure Switches • Vacuum Switches • Differential Pressure Switches • Extended Duty Pressure Switches • Extended Duty Vacuum Switches
Air Compressor Pressure Switches • can be used for a pressure systems of 1-16 bar. TYPES: • Square D Air Compressor Pressure Switch • Air Pressure Switch for Single Stage Air Compressor • Air Pressure Switch for Dual Stage Air Compressor • Furnas Pressure Switch • Siemens-Furnace Pressure Switch • and many more
Water Pump Pressure Switches • used for the pressure ranges of 15-250 psi. • Cut-in and Cut-out Pressure • Limitations of Water Pump Pressure Switches
Vacuum Switches • used for vacuum applications ranging from 1.1-22 inHg. • Applications Internal combustion engine (20 in. vacuum) Vacuum motors HVAC controls
Differential Pressure Switches • 0.5 to 6 bar • mostly used in the power plants
Extended Duty Pressure Switches • 0.5 to 150 psi Switch with Metri-pack terminal Switch with screw terminals
Extended Duty Vacuum Switches • Fluorosiliconerubber diaphragm • About 1.1 to 22 inHg Vacuum switch with screw terminals
