FAQs

What does IP44 mean?

IP44 indicates that the socket is protected against solid objects greater than 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction.

Can I use this socket with a 110V appliance?

No, this socket is designed for 230V operation. Using it with a 110V appliance may result in improper function or damage. Ensure your appliance matches the 230V rating.

What type of wire should I use for the screw terminals?

Use appropriate gauge wires for a 16A circuit as per local electrical regulations. Ensure the wire ends are stripped to the correct length for secure insertion into the screw terminals.

Is this socket suitable for outdoor permanent installation?

While IP44 offers some protection, permanent outdoor installation may require additional weatherproofing measures or a socket with a higher IP rating depending on exposure levels. It is best suited for temporary or sheltered outdoor use.

How do I ensure a secure connection with the screw terminals?

Strip the wire insulation to expose the conductor. Insert the conductor into the terminal and tighten the screw firmly until the wire is held securely. Give a gentle tug to confirm it does not pull out.

What is the weight of this socket outlet?

The Legrand P17 Tempra CEE appliance socket outlet weighs approximately 147 grams.

Where is the 'hour position 6h' indicated?

The 'hour position 6h' refers to the keyway or polarization of the plug and socket, indicating the relative position of the earth contact. For this 230V, 16A blue socket, the earth pin is typically positioned at 6 o'clock.

Troubleshooting

No power to the socket.

Verify that the circuit breaker supplying the socket is switched on. Check the wiring connections at the socket and the power source. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the socket.

Loose connection with appliance plug.

Inspect both the socket and the appliance plug for any debris or damage. Ensure the plug is the correct CEE type and rating for the socket. Check if the socket's internal contacts are damaged.

Socket feels warm during operation.

Ensure the appliance's current draw does not exceed the socket's 16A rating. Check for loose wire connections at the screw terminals, as these can cause resistance and heat. If the issue persists, discontinue use and consult an electrician.

Damage to the plastic casing.

If the casing is cracked or broken, the IP rating may be compromised. Discontinue use immediately and replace the socket outlet to maintain safety standards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This socket outlet is designed for flush mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is suitable and has a cut-out appropriate for the socket dimensions. Connect the line, neutral, and earth wires to the corresponding screw terminals, ensuring a secure connection. Verify all connections are tight and correctly wired according to local electrical codes before energizing the circuit.

Compatibility:

This is a CEE appliance socket outlet rated for 230V and 16A. It is compatible with CEE plugs of the corresponding voltage and amperage rating. The blue color indicates 230V operation. Ensure your appliance's plug matches these specifications.

Care:

To clean, first disconnect all power. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the plastic. Ensure the IP44 seal remains intact; check for any damage to the casing or terminal covers.
