Danfoss 060-5250 Pressure Control
The Danfoss 060-5250 Pressure Control (KPU 15B) is a high-performance dual pressure switch designed for heavy-duty commercial refrigeration and air conditioning protection. This unit integrates both high-pressure and low-pressure monitoring into a single housing, featuring an adjustable low pressure range of 28" Hg to 100 psig and a high pressure range of 100 to 465 psig. Built for the rigors of field service, the KPU 15B utilizes snap-action electrical contacts with a 24 FLA rating at 240V, ensuring crisp, bounce-free switching that extends the life of the compressor motor's starter and contactor.
For maximum system safety, this SPDT pressure switch is equipped with a manual reset on the high-pressure side, preventing automatic restarts after a safety trip until a technician inspects the system. The Danfoss KPU 15B features a 36-inch capillary tube with a standard 1/4" flare nut for versatile mounting. Its dual-bellows design provides a fail-safe mechanism, protecting against refrigerant loss and ensuring consistent HVAC safety control even in high-vibration environments.
Key Benefits for HVACR Contractors:- Dual-Function Protection: Monitors both suction and discharge pressures simultaneously to prevent compressor failure.
- Snap-Action Operation: High contact load capacity and ultra-short bounce time reduce arcing and electrical wear.
- Manual Reset Safety: High-pressure manual reset ensures manual intervention after extreme discharge pressure events.
- Durable Construction: Rust-proof plastic cover and high-visibility contrast scales allow for easy setting and long-term reliability.
- Broad Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of common refrigerants including R22, R134a, R404A, and R507.
What is the difference between the 060-5250 manual reset and automatic versions?
The 060-5250 requires a physical push of the reset button on the high-pressure side after a trip, which is critical for identifying system faults before the compressor attempts to restart.
Can this control handle 120V and 240V circuits?
Yes, the heavy-duty SPDT contacts are rated for 24 FLA (Full Load Amps) at 120V and 240V, making it compatible with most commercial condensing units and chillers.
Is this switch compatible with R410A?
While the high-pressure range reaches 465 psig, always verify your specific system's Max Working Pressure (MWP) against the 510 psig high-side limit of this control before installation.
