Square D 9013FH Pressure Switch
The Square D 9013FH is a DPST pressure switch designed to control electrically driven air compressors. It suits workshops and light industrial sites that need automatic cut-in and cut-out between 135 and 175 psi on single or three-phase supplies up to 480 V.
Factory settings and port configuration
The switch ships calibrated to close at 135 psi and open at 175 psi, giving a fixed 40 psi differential across the adjustable 60 to 200 psi range. A single 1/4 inch FNPS port connects directly to the tank manifold, and the manual Auto/Off lever allows local override without rewiring.
Motor load capacity and limits
Rated for 1.5 hp at 120 V single-phase, 2 hp at 240 V single-phase, 3 hp at 240 V three-phase and 1 hp at 480 V three-phase, it handles typical shop compressors within those ratings. NEMA 1 enclosure restricts use to dry indoor locations, and the absence of an unloader valve means the installer must provide separate pressure relief if required.

Questions about this item
How often should the contacts on the 9013FH be inspected or replaced?
The DPST contacts carry up to 10 A at the rated voltage. Inspect them during routine compressor maintenance and replace if pitting or excessive wear appears.
What limits continuous operation of the 9013FH first?
The 40 psi differential means the compressor cycles each time pressure drops 40 psi. Frequent cycling under heavy demand is the practical limit.
How hot or noisy does the 9013FH get when the compressor runs all day?
The switch itself generates negligible heat and no audible noise. All heat and sound come from the compressor motor it controls.
