FAQs

What does IP67 mean?

IP67 means the socket is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Can I use this for single-phase power?

No, this socket is specifically designed for 3-phase, 415V power applications and is not suitable for single-phase or low-voltage systems.

What type of cable can I use?

You can use stranded cable sizes from 6-25 mm² or solid cable sizes from 6-35 mm².

Is this socket safe to plug/unplug while equipment is running?

No, the 'Switched Interlocked' feature is designed to prevent connection or disconnection under electrical load, enhancing safety.

How do I install this product?

Installation requires a qualified electrician due to the 3-phase power and high amperage. Follow the guidelines in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section.

What are the dimensions for wall mounting?

The wall mounting fixing centres are 140mm x 240mm.

Does it come with cable glands?

Cable glands are not typically included and should be purchased separately to ensure a proper seal for the chosen cable entry, maintaining the IP67 rating.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not provide power.

Ensure the main power supply is active. Verify the circuit breaker is ON. Confirm the socket is correctly wired by a qualified electrician and the interlock is engaged.

Interlock mechanism is stiff or not engaging.

Disconnect power. Inspect the mechanism for obstructions or damage. Clean gently. If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.

Water ingress detected.

Immediately disconnect power. Inspect the unit and cable entry points for damage or improperly sealed glands. Dry thoroughly and replace any damaged components or seals before re-energizing.

Overheating at connection points.

Disconnect power. Check cable connections for tightness. Ensure the correct cable size is used and is properly terminated. If overheating persists, the socket may be overloaded or faulty and requires professional inspection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Qualified Electrician Required: Due to the 3-phase, 63A rating, installation must be performed by a certified electrician.
  2. Mounting: Securely mount the unit using the 140mm x 240mm wall mounting centres. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and able to support the unit's weight.
  3. Cable Entry: Select the appropriate knock-out or threaded entry point based on the cable size and installation requirements. Use appropriate cable glands (not included) to maintain the IP67 rating.
  4. Wiring: Connect the 3-phase, neutral, and earth conductors according to local electrical codes and the unit's internal wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.

Compatibility:

  • Voltage: Compatible with 415V systems.
  • Phase: Designed for 3-phase power.
  • Cable Size: Suitable for stranded cables (6-25 mm²) and solid cables (6-35 mm²).
  • Environmental: Ideal for temperatures typically encountered in industrial settings, though extreme ranges should be verified.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly inspect the socket for dirt and debris. Clean only with a dry or slightly damp cloth when the power is disconnected. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically check connections for tightness and signs of corrosion or damage. Ensure the interlock mechanism operates smoothly.
  • Sealing: Verify that any used cable entry points are properly sealed with appropriate glands to maintain the IP67 rating.
