Antunes Controls
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Antunes Controls from 3G Electric.
What is the pressure range and connection type of the Antunes Controls FCG 050 gas pressure switch?
The Antunes Controls FCG 050 operates over a pressure range of 5–50 mbar and uses a threaded BSP connection. It has an electrical rating of 6 A at 250 VAC and a maximum surge pressure of 1 bar. The storage temperature range is -30°C to 80°C. These specifications make it suitable for appliance and burner control applications where gas pressure must be monitored within a low-pressure band. When selecting this switch, verify that the BSP thread matches the existing manifold or pipework and that the electrical load of the circuit does not exceed the 6 A rating. The FCG 050 is a component within a larger control system, not a standalone safety shut-off device.
What types of Antunes Controls pressure switches does 3G Electric supply for HVACR systems?
3G Electric supplies Antunes Controls pressure switches for refrigeration, air conditioning, heating, and combustion equipment. The range includes gas pressure switches like the FCG 050, air pressure switches for combustion and ventilation monitoring, and replacement pressure switches with manufacturer part numbers such as 8021204007, 8021206021, and 804111705. These switches activate or deactivate circuits at set pressure thresholds to protect compressors, boilers, and other components. Also available are mounting brackets and fittings, such as part number 808000303, for securing components in HVACR assemblies. The catalog covers both original Antunes Controls items and replacement parts intended for maintenance and repair.
How do I identify the correct Antunes Controls replacement pressure switch for my equipment?
To identify the correct Antunes Controls replacement pressure switch, start with the manufacturer part number from the existing switch or the equipment's service documentation. 3G Electric lists part numbers such as 8021204007, 8021206021, 8024202041, 804111705, and 803113401 for pressure switches, and JD-2-RED for an air pressure switch. Match the pressure range, connection type, and electrical rating to the original specification. If the part number is not available, compare the physical form factor, thread type, and pressure setpoints. 3G Electric provides specification data for each listed item to support cross-referencing. For gas applications, confirm that the switch is rated for the appropriate gas type and pressure range.
What is the difference between an Antunes Controls gas pressure switch and an air pressure switch?
An Antunes Controls gas pressure switch, such as the FCG 050, is designed to monitor gas pressure in appliance and burner control applications, with a pressure range and connection type suited to gas trains. An air pressure switch, such as part number JD-2-RED, monitors air pressure in combustion equipment, ventilation, or refrigeration systems. The two types differ in their pressure ranges, connection fittings, and intended media. Gas pressure switches are typically used to verify gas supply pressure before ignition or to detect abnormal conditions in the gas line. Air pressure switches are used to confirm airflow for combustion or to monitor differential pressure across filters or fans. Both are components within a control circuit and must be selected based on the specific application requirements.
Can 3G Electric provide Antunes Controls products outside of Singapore?
Yes, 3G Electric ships Antunes Controls products globally. The company is headquartered in Singapore but serves customers in multiple regions. Orders for pressure switches, thermostats, and related components can be shipped to international destinations. For specific part numbers such as the FCG 050 or replacement switches like 8021204007, 3G Electric can confirm availability and shipping details. Technical buyers outside Singapore should include their location and any required documentation when requesting a quote. The catalog and product data are accessible to international customers, and the company supports cross-border procurement for industrial and commercial equipment components.
What are the electrical ratings and environmental limits for Antunes Controls pressure switches?
Electrical ratings and environmental limits vary by model. The Antunes Controls FCG 050 has a rating of 6 A at 250 VAC, a maximum surge pressure of 1 bar, and a storage temperature range of -30°C to 80°C. Other pressure switches in the range may have different ratings; always refer to the specific product data for the model in question. When integrating these switches, ensure that the electrical load does not exceed the contact rating and that the operating temperature remains within the specified range. For gas applications, verify compatibility with the gas type and pressure. These switches are intended for use in control circuits and should be installed according to applicable codes and the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
