Danfoss KP5 High Pressure Switch | Refrigeration & Air Conditioning | 060-117391
Product Description:
The KP5 (060-117391) is engineered to act as a safety cutout or pressure regulator for high-pressure side applications. In the UAE—where ambient temperatures can cause discharge pressures to soar—the KP5 is essential for protecting compressors in district cooling plants, commercial cold stores, and rooftop AC units. This model features a regulation range of 8 to 32 bar and is equipped with an SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switch. Its vibration-proof design and ultra-short contact bounce time ensure maximum electrical reliability, preventing arcing and extending the life of the control system in demanding Middle Eastern environments.
Key Features & Benefits:
- High-Pressure Protection: Optimized for the high-pressure side of refrigeration circuits, providing a reliable safety cutout to prevent system damage.
- Vibration Resistant: Specially built to maintain accuracy and contact stability even when mounted near high-vibration compressors in UAE machine rooms.
- Ultra-Short Bounce Time: Minimizes electrical wear on contacts, significantly increasing the reliability of the system under high-cycle conditions.
- Broad Compatibility: Suitable for all common fluorinated refrigerants (HCFC and non-flammable HFC), including high-pressure refrigerants like R410A used in the UAE.
- Compact & Easy to Mount: Small footprint allows for easy installation in tight control boxes, with clear scales for precise setpoint adjustment.

FAQs:
- Q: Is the KP5 060-117391 suitable for R410A systems in Dubai?
- A: Yes, with a 32-bar upper limit, it is perfectly suited for the high operating pressures of R410A air conditioning systems.
- Q: Does this model require a manual reset?
- A: No, the 060-117391 features an automatic reset, meaning the switch will reset itself once the pressure falls below the set differential.
- Q: Can it be used in outdoor units in Abu Dhabi?
- A: While it has an IP30 rating, it should be installed within a weatherproof electrical enclosure if used in outdoor units to protect it from dust and humidity.
