The P70, P72, and P170 controls for low pressure
applications are designed primarily for low pressure
cut-out control, pump-down control, and capacity
control on commercial refrigeration and air
conditioning applications.
These controls are available in several pressure
ranges and are compatible with most common
refrigerants. They may also be used on other
non-corrosive fluid applications. Ammonia compatible
models are also available.
Controls also are available in several different
electrical ratings and switch configurations. The
P72 models provide direct control of 208-240 volt
single-phase motors up to 3 hp, and 208-220 volt
3-phase motors up to 5 horsepower.
