KP

The KP pressure switches can be used as safety switches against too low a suction pressure and / or too high a discharge pressure in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They can also be used to start / stop compressors and fans for air-cooled condensers.
They are available in both single and dual versions and include a single pole double throw (SPDT) switch.

Features and benefits

  • Ultra-short bounce time thanks to snapaction function (reduces wear to a minimum and increases reliability)
  • Available with gold-plated contacts
  • SPDT switch design offers open or close switching action on pressure rise or fall
  • Fail safe double bellows prevent refrigerant loss and system contamination - standard on KP 7 and KP 17 pressure switches
  • Convenient manual trip feature to test electrical contact function - no tools needed
  • Pressure wire connectors for easy electrical wiring
  • No spade or lug terminals required
  • Integral 1⁄2 NPSM swivel cable connector allows direct attachment of 1⁄2 in male pipe thread connector
  • Lockplate prevents tampering with range and differential settings
  • Universal mounting hole patterns

KP / KPU pressure switches, standard applications

Great reliability and long service life
The KP pressure switches from Danfoss are optimized for light and heavy commercial refrigeration providing excellent protection against low suction pressure or high discharge pressure. KP pressure switches are used for starting and stopping refrigeration compressors and fans on air-cooled condensers.

KP thermostats are single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) temperature operated electric switches. KP is used for regulation, but can also be applied in safety monitoring systems.

With the KP pressure switches you get great reliability and long service life due to the snap-action function ensuring ultra-short bounce times. The KP pressure switch is available with IP30, IP44 and IP55 enclosures for appropriate protection based on the application.
