Danfoss 060-117191 Pressure Control

The Danfoss 060-117191 KP5 Pressure Control is a critical high-pressure safety switch designed for commercial refrigeration and air conditioning applications. As the direct replacement for 0601171 and 060-117166, this auto-reset pressure switch provides reliable protection against excessive discharge pressures. It features a high-performance SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) contact system with a snap-action function, delivering an ultra-short bounce time that significantly reduces electrical wear and prevents contact welding under high loads.

Built for the rigors of the field, the unit includes a fully welded bellows element and is rated IP44 for protection against dust and splashing water. This KP5 pressure control supports a regulation range of 8 to 32 bar (116 to 464 psig) with an adjustable differential of 1.8 to 6 bar, ensuring precise calibration for high pressure cut-out settings. The 1/4-inch male flare connection follows DIN 8906 standards, making it compatible with most standard HVACR manifolds and piping. It is optimized for use with HCFC and non-flammable HFC refrigerants, including oil-free applications.

• Broad Compatibility: Efficiently replaces legacy Danfoss 0601171 and 060-1171 models for seamless retrofit.
• Mechanical Integrity: Vibration and shock-resistant design maintains setpoint accuracy in high-vibration compressor environments.
• Fast Troubleshooting: Features a manual trip function to test electrical contact continuity without requiring system pressure changes.
• High Contact Load: Rated for AC1 up to 16A, allowing for direct control of single-phase motors up to 2 kW.
• Simplified Wiring: Integral rubber cable gland accommodates 6-14 mm cables for secure and fast electrical termination.

Common Questions

Is the Danfoss 060-117191 a manual or automatic reset?
This model is an automatic reset high-pressure control. Once the system pressure drops below the cut-in value (cut-out minus differential), the contacts will automatically close to resume operation.

What is the maximum working pressure for the KP5?
The Danfoss KP5 has a maximum working pressure (MWP) of 35 bar (510 psig) and a maximum test pressure of 35 bar, making it suitable for modern high-pressure refrigerant cycles.

Can this be used on the suction side for low-pressure protection?
No, the KP5 is specifically a high-pressure control. For low-pressure suction protection, a KP1 or similar low-pressure switch should be utilized.
