PS & PSU Pressure Switch

Danfoss PS & PSU Pressure Switch


Type PS and PSU are pressure-controlled three-pole switches. The position of the contacts
depends on the pressure in the inlet connection and the range setting.
Pressure switch type PS is for the automatic stop and start of motors in compressed air
and water pressure plant (pressure storage tanks.)
Type PSU is especially for compressed air plant where pressure over the compressor
piston must be relieved before starting.

* Connection 1/2 BSP
* Enclosure IP55
