Full details
The Legrand Hypra Inbuilt Socket (052018) is designed for professionals and installers seeking a durable, IP44-rated socket for fixed installations, particularly in environments where responsible electrical equipment disposal is a consideration. Its key benefit is reliable power delivery in demanding conditions, coupled with an interlocked mechanism for safety. A minor consideration is that it is not a switched socket, requiring separate control.

Troubleshooting
Socket not providing power
Verify that the circuit breaker is on and that power is correctly supplied to the socket. Check all wire connections to ensure they are secure and correctly terminated.
Interlock mechanism not engaging/disengaging properly
Ensure the plug is fully inserted or removed. Check for any obstructions around the socket or plug interface. If the issue persists, inspect the mechanism for damage.
