Float Switches & Level Controllers
Float Switches & Level Controllers detect a liquid level or control filling and emptying through a compatible level-sensing arrangement.
Product-type reference. The supplied make and configuration are confirmed in your quotation.
Float switches and level controller buying enquiries
Tirupati Power Enterprises supplies float switches and level-controller requirements for tank monitoring, pump controls and maintenance. For a float switch price, describe the liquid, temperature, mounting, switching action and connection. A cable float, a stem-mounted float and an electronic level controller are different items and should be identified separately.
Use this page for replacement switches or a specified level-control requirement. Tell us whether the process fills or empties the tank, how many levels must be detected and what the output will control. For plants in West Bengal, Odisha and Assam, include installation photographs, quantities and the delivery PIN code.
Information to include in your RFQ
Selection requirements for this product type |
|---|
Liquid type, temperature and tank geometry |
Cable float, rod or electrode sensing |
Contact duty, supply and controller output |
Mounting, cable length and required level differential |
Replacement and quotation checks
For a replacement, send the existing float switches & level controllers reference and photographs of its markings, connections and mounting. Include the equipment drawing or datasheet where available. Identify which functions must remain unchanged and whether an alternative make is acceptable.

Liquid-level selection and interface schedule
The sensing element must suit the liquid and the output must suit the control circuit. A contact’s general current marking does not establish its motor-switching duty.
Buying detail | Include in your RFQ | Confirmation to request |
|---|---|---|
Liquid conditions | Liquid identity, density, temperature and compatibility needs | Check float/body/cable materials and the selected model’s limits |
Mounting | Cable, side/top stem or other arrangement; dimensions/thread | Confirm free float movement and mechanical fit |
Switching levels | Fill/empty function, number of points and required hysteresis | Match the switching action and level arrangement |
Electrical output | NO/NC/changeover, signal or relay output and circuit voltage | Confirm the contact function and load-specific rating |
Controller arrangement | Sensor/controller supply, pump interface and required alarms | Identify any relay/contactor and separate protection scope |
Connection and accessories | Cable length, connector, counterweight, probe or bracket | Quote the complete installation-specific component set |
Compare quotations for the same supply scope
Float switch prices vary with construction, liquid compatibility, cable length, contact function and series. Compare identical models and included accessories. A level controller may need separate probes or sensors, and a float contact may need an interposing relay or contactor for the pump circuit. Separate the sensing component from a complete pump-control panel when comparing quotations.
Prepare your requirement for a quotation
For a replacement, send the old code, mounting photographs, cable length and contact/output information. State whether the existing controller and pump starter must remain unchanged.
For a new requirement, provide the tank arrangement and required operating levels. Identify the liquid and the control interface so an unsuitable water-only component is not proposed for a different medium.
- Liquid, temperature, density/compatibility requirement and environment.
- Mounting dimensions, level points, fill/empty action and hysteresis.
- Contact/signal, control supply and connected load or starter.
- Cable/probes/accessories, quantities and delivery requirements.
Checks before you approve the order
Check the liquid and switch point
WIKA’s float-switch data illustrates that liquid density, materials and switch behaviour belong in selection. Ratings from one model do not apply to all float switches.
Separate sensing from motor control
Confirm the pump-control circuit and any required relay/contactor. Do not infer direct motor-switching suitability from a general contact rating.
Define the controller package
If requesting a level controller, list its probes/sensors, output and power supply rather than treating it as a cable float.

Questions about Float Switches & Level Controllers
What should I check before selecting float switches & level controllers?
A float switch contact may require an interposing relay or contactor to control a pump; confirm the motor duty rather than assuming direct switching.
What information is needed to quote float switches & level controllers?
Provide liquid type, temperature and tank geometry; cable float, rod or electrode sensing; contact duty, supply and controller output; mounting, cable length and required level differential. Include the quantity, requested make or existing reference and delivery PIN code.
What should I send for a float switch price?
Send the model or liquid conditions, mounting, contact function, switching levels, cable length and connected control duty. Add quantity and accessories.
Can a float switch operate a pump directly?
Only if its documented switching duty and the complete circuit design permit that load. Many arrangements use a separate relay or contactor; specify the pump interface.
Is a water float suitable for every liquid?
No. Density, temperature, chemical compatibility and mechanical conditions affect selection. Identify the actual liquid and required materials.
Is a level controller the same as a float switch?
A float switch is a sensing/switching component. A level controller can use separate sensors/probes and control outputs; specify the complete arrangement.
Are cable length and counterweight included in the quote?
Include the required cable length, counterweight or mounting accessories explicitly and have the offer confirm the supplied configuration.
