SK-13 – dry-run protection
with cable
IBO’s SK-13 is an electronic dry-run protection device for surface pumps. When the water pressure in the system drops below the shut-off threshold, the device stops the pump and protects it from damage. The cable version is ready to be connected to the pump’s power supply system, simplifying installation.
Who it is for
- Installers and plumbers – ready-made wiring shortens connection time in a pressurized water system.
- Homeowners with their own water source – the device automatically stops the pump when the water runs out and protects it from damage.
- Users of pressurized water system sets – the controller keeps the pump operating within the set pressure range.
- Allotment gardeners and farms – simple protection for a surface pump during everyday water intake.
Application
SK-13 is suitable for domestic and garden water systems with a surface pump. It operates in systems equipped with a pressure tank. When the pressure drops below the shut-off threshold, the device stops the pump, and after the water supply is restored, it allows the pump to resume operation.
Single-phase pumps are connected directly, while three-phase pumps are connected through a contactor. Pump protection is provided by the SK-13 230 V pressure controller.
SK-13 protection features
SK-13 protects the pump against dry running. When the pressure in the system drops below the shut-off threshold, the device stops the pump. The first start-up takes place after pressing the RESET button, and once the pressure has stabilized, the controller operates automatically.
