Electronic Pressure Switch

Abstract

Electronic pressure switch comprising a pressure sensor and a circuit provided in turn with a switch for the activation/deactivation of an electric pump, an input terminal and an output terminal for connection to the mains and connection between the pressure switch and the electric pump and a microcontroller for controlling the switch, which receives signals from the pressure sensor, wherein the electric circuit comprises a current sensor connected to the microcontroller, so that it can stop the operation of the electric pump due to overcurrent, thus avoiding having to mount a specific sensor in the electric pump. It also allows, by interacting with the pressure sensor through a programmed logic, an operation of the electric pump in no-load condition, without water, as well as water hammers, to be detected with greater reliability.
