Float switch SKF-3 T0-SKF-3

Float switches – reliable installation protection

The SKF-3 float switch is a device designed to automatically switch off equipment when the liquid level rises. Its construction based on a float ensures reliable operation in various applications, from water pumping to preventing tank overflow. This is a simple yet effective solution that finds application in both domestic and industrial installations.

Construction and principle of operation

The SKF-3 switch uses a hermetically sealed single-pole changeover contact (1CO) that changes state depending on the position of the float. The float, moving with the liquid level, activates or deactivates the contact, turning the electrical circuit on or off. A cable length of 3 meters provides installation flexibility and adaptation to different installation conditions. The IP68 protection class guarantees resistance to water and dust ingress, making it an ideal solution for working in harsh environmental conditions.

Applications and benefits

The SKF-3 float switch is a versatile element that will work in many situations:

• Sludge and fecal pumps: Automatic pump switching on and off depending on the liquid level in the tank.
• Hydrophore systems: Protection against pump running dry, which extends its lifespan.
• Retention tanks: Liquid level control and prevention of overflow.
• Irrigation systems: Automatic control of irrigation pumps.
• Flood protection: Detecting rising water levels and activating an alarm or drainage pump.

Thanks to its simple construction and reliability, the SKF-3 switch is easy to install and operate. Its high corrosion resistance and material durability ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation. The rated current of 10A and the rated voltage of 250V AC allow it to be used with various electrical devices of medium power.
