FAQs
What type of plug fits these sockets?
These are CEE sockets with a 2P+E (2-pin plus Earth) configuration, typically used for 110V connections. You will need a compatible 110V, 16A plug.
Can I use this with 230V equipment?
No, this unit is strictly rated for 110V operation. Using it with 230V equipment or connecting it to a 230V supply will cause damage and pose a significant safety hazard.
What does IP44 mean?
IP44 indicates that the unit is protected against solid objects greater than 1mm (like wires) and splashing water from any direction. It is not waterproof.
How is this unit mounted?
It is designed for panel mounting. This typically involves cutting an appropriate aperture in a panel or enclosure and securing the box from behind.
What is the maximum current this unit can handle?
Each socket is rated for a maximum continuous current of 16 Amps.
Can this be used outdoors?
The IP44 rating offers some protection against splashing water, making it suitable for sheltered outdoor locations. However, it should not be exposed to direct rain or prolonged wet conditions.
