A low pressure switch can be used for:

The use of a low-pressure switch is primarily for monitoring and controlling the pressure within the refrigeration system, which is critical for maintaining optimal performance and efficiency. In particular, a low-pressure switch can be employed to control space temperature by ensuring that the evaporator operates within an appropriate pressure range.

When the pressure inside the evaporator drops too low, indicating that the refrigerant is not evaporating properly or that there is an issue with the system, the low-pressure switch will activate. This action can trigger the compressor to cycle off to prevent damage from running under low pressure or improve the system's response to changes in cooling demand. By effectively managing the pressure, the low-pressure switch helps maintain the desired temperature within the refrigerated space.

In contrast, the other options pertain to different functions not typically associated with a low-pressure switch. Overcharge protection, high-side cut-out control, and control of refrigerant flow rate are generally managed by different components, such as high-pressure switches or specific flow control devices, making them less relevant to the primary function of a low-pressure switch.
