Element KLT 1-6 Single Phase Power / Pressure Switch (ELT-6 Type, 2-11 Bar Range)
Based on the industrial marking profiles of the Element KLT 1-6 control framework, this version is configured as an ELT-6 type single-phase heavy-duty mechanical pressure switch.
This parameter group features a specialized high-performance pressure regulation range rated across 2 to 11 Bar (29 to 160 PSI). It functions as an automated electro-mechanical governor that starts and stops heavy-duty single-phase electric motors, high-capacity water booster systems, and medium-pressure commercial air compressors when the target line pressure drops or hits system maximums.
Key Features
-
Adjustable 2-11 Bar Operational Range: Built with an internal dual-spring configuration allowing custom adjustments to cut-in (start) and cut-out (stop) pressure configurations between 2 and 11 Bar, making it perfect for higher-head fluid handling loops.
-
Dual-Pole Double-Break Contact Blocks: Incorporates high-grade heavy terminal blocks fitted with robust brass binding screws. This layout establishes separate wiring channels for Line and Load distribution to safely break high-current inductive pathways simultaneously.
-
High-Strength Passivated Steel Sub-Chassis: Anchored onto a thick, zinc-plated structural steel bottom bracket. The base features high anti-corrosion tracking resistance to eliminate flexing under rapid cycling variations or severe physical line pulsations.
-
Molded Strain-Relief Entry Inlets: Equipped with twin heavy-duty black rubber grommets on the front flange to isolate incoming and outgoing power lines from abrasion, while preventing airborne dust, dirt, and light water splashes from settling inside the contact mechanisms.
-
High-Speed Snap Action Mechanism: Driven by a premium mechanical trip plunger that forces contacts to break rapidly. This snap-action behavior reduces electrical arcing, pitting, and oxidation across the contact surfaces, ensuring extended utility cycles under full load.

Applications
-
High-Head Water Booster Pumps: Acts as the automated control brain for multi-story residential booster pump stations, keeping municipal or structural distribution lines charged between 2 and 11 Bar.
-
Medium-Pressure Industrial Compressors: Regulates start/stop cycles on workshop and factory air tool compressors by turning off power to the single-phase drive motor once the main storage tank reaches higher working thresholds.
-
Commercial Agriculture and Irrigation: Manages main irrigation line feeds and high-pressure liquid fertilizer dosing manifolds across open fields, vineyards, and automated greenhouse layouts.
-
Hydro-Pneumatic Storage Tank Networks: Works with enclosed expansion tanks to maintain steady fluid volumes across self-contained water lines in processing facilities.
