Compressor Pressure Control

Pressure Switches

Shop NEMA pressure switches for compressed-air systems, including single-phase, three-phase and Expotherm 2 overload-protected models.

Pressure Switches for Air Compressors

Pressure switches automatically control suitable electric air compressors by switching the compressor on and off in response to system pressure.

The current NEMA range includes 12 bar models with 1/4" connections, 1-way, 2-way and 4-way configurations, plus single-phase and three-phase options.

Expotherm 2 versions are also available with integrated overload protection for selected motor sizes and voltages.

Selection Guide

How to Choose the Correct Pressure Switch

Pressure Range

Confirm the compressor operating pressure and the switch pressure range before ordering.

Electrical Phase

Check whether the compressor uses single-phase or three-phase power.

Way Configuration

Confirm whether the replacement requires a 1-way, 2-way or 4-way connection arrangement.

Overload Protection

Where the switch incorporates overload protection, match the overload range to the motor and electrical requirements.

Do not select a pressure switch from appearance alone. Pressure range, phase, voltage, connection arrangement and overload specification can all differ.
Expotherm 2

Pressure Switches with Overload Protection

The current range includes NEMA Expotherm 2 pressure switches with integrated overload protection for selected three-phase compressor applications.

Available versions include options for 2.2 kW, 4 kW and 5.5 kW motors, with selected 400 V and 500 V models.

Always match the overload range and voltage to the compressor motor and existing electrical arrangement before replacing the switch.
Standard NEMA Switches

Single-Phase & Three-Phase Options

The standard pressure-switch range includes both single-phase and three-phase versions in selected 1-way, 2-way and 4-way configurations.

This makes the exact electrical and port arrangement important when replacing an existing switch.

Before Ordering

Information to Check

  • Existing pressure-switch part number or reference
  • Maximum pressure rating
  • Single-phase or three-phase supply
  • Voltage
  • Connection and port arrangement
  • Motor power where relevant
  • Overload range where fitted
  • Compressor manufacturer and model
  • Clear photographs of the existing switch and wiring arrangement
Replacement Safety

Pressure Switch Replacement

Pressure switches combine compressed-air and electrical control functions, so replacement work should only be carried out with the equipment correctly isolated.

  • Safely isolate the electrical supply
  • Fully depressurise the compressor and receiver
  • Confirm wiring and phase arrangement before disconnection
  • Match the pressure and overload settings correctly
  • Check the completed installation for correct operation
FAQs

Pressure Switch FAQs

What does an air compressor pressure switch do?

It automatically starts and stops a suitable electric compressor in response to system pressure, helping maintain pressure within the intended operating range.

What pressure rating is available in this range?

The current NEMA range includes selected 12 bar pressure switches.

Are single-phase and three-phase switches available?

Yes. The current range includes both single-phase and three-phase options.

What does 1-way, 2-way or 4-way mean?

It refers to the port or connection arrangement on the pressure switch. The required configuration should match the compressor installation.

What is an Expotherm 2 pressure switch?

The Expotherm 2 models in this range are pressure switches with integrated overload protection for selected compressor motor applications.

Can I choose a replacement by matching the thread only?

No. Pressure rating, phase, voltage, way configuration, overload range and the overall electrical arrangement also need to be checked.

Can Compressed Air Systems UK help identify the correct pressure switch?

Yes. Provide the existing switch reference, compressor model, phase, voltage, motor size and clear photographs where possible.

Not Sure Which Pressure Switch You Need?

Send us the existing switch reference, compressor model and electrical details and our team can help identify the appropriate replacement.
