Float switch SKF-0.5 T0-SKF-0.5

Float switches – reliable protection for installations

The SKF-0.5 float switch is a simple yet effective solution for protecting electrical installations from the effects of uncontrolled liquid level rise. Thanks to its design, this device automatically disconnects the power supply when the liquid reaches a certain level, protecting connected devices and preventing serious failures. This is particularly important in pumping systems, retention tanks, or industrial applications where the risk of flooding is increased.

This switch is characterized by its versatility and ease of installation. Its compact size allows installation even in hard-to-reach places. Made of durable materials, it ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation even in harsh environmental conditions.

Construction and application

The SKF-0.5 switch is equipped with a single changeover contact (1CO), which means it has one normally open circuit. The flat red cover facilitates visual identification of the device and indicates its operating status. A 0.5 meter long cable provides flexibility when connecting to the electrical installation.

The device is primarily used in:

• Wastewater drainage systems: automatic starting and stopping of wastewater pumps depending on the liquid level.
• Retention tanks: protecting pumps from running dry and damage.
• Industrial installations: protecting machines and equipment from flooding and short circuits.
• Domestic booster systems: automatic pump control depending on water demand.
• Cooling systems: controlling the coolant level and protecting devices from overheating.

Key features and parameters

The SKF-0.5 float switch has been designed with reliability and safety in mind. Its rated current is 10A at 250V AC, allowing connection of medium-power devices. The IP68 protection class guarantees complete sealing of the device against water and dust, enabling its use even in the most demanding environmental conditions – immersion in water is not a problem for this switch. Thanks to this, it can be used without fear both indoors and outdoors, exposed to atmospheric factors. The design of the switch also ensures high mechanical resistance, which translates into its durability and long service life.
