Description
The Johnson Controls P400BD-1 is a single point differential oil pressure switch engineered for reliable compressor protection in commercial and industrial HVAC and refrigeration systems. It monitors the differential pressure between the oil pump outlet and crankcase to safeguard compressors against low oil pressure conditions before damage can occur.
Key Specifications
- Switch Type: Single Point Differential Oil Pressure Switch
- Open Point (Differential Pressure): 10 ± 1.5 Psid
- Close Point: Less than or equal to 3 Psid (differential above open point)
- Thread Connection: M20 x 1.5
- Includes Wiring Harness (WHA-P400 series)
Product Overview
The P400BD-1 measures the pressure differential across the compressor oil pump and opens its contacts when that differential drops to the set open point of 10 ± 1.5 Psid, signaling a low oil pressure condition. The switch resets (closes) when the differential rises back above the close point threshold of 3 Psid above the open point, providing a clear and reliable hysteresis band for system protection logic.
Features & Benefits
- Protects compressors from low oil pressure damage in commercial refrigeration and HVAC applications
