Electrical

  • 2 NC snap-action DPST-DB
  • Above 5 HP or on any three-phase motor, pilot a contactor instead of switching motor current

Size against motor full-load amps with the motor amperage calculator, and check feeder sizing with the voltage drop calculator.

Adjustment

  1. Range nut only. 200 psi MAWP tank minimum for a 175 psi cut-out.
  2. Verify the pilot/unloader line is clear before adjusting — a plugged line reads as a bad switch.
Before you open the cover

Kill power at the disconnect and lock out. Bleed the tank to 0 psi. Never set cut-out above the tank data-plate MAWP. Verify your numbers first in the cut-in / cut-out calculator.

Best fit

  • Industrial two-stage recips
  • 175 psi plant header service

Watch out

  • Do not fit a 175 psi switch to a tank stamped 150 psi MAWP — that is the single most common illegal field modification we see.
