Product Information

Full details

The Legrand Hypra Mobile Socket is designed for industrial applications requiring a robust and safe electrical connection. Its key benefit is providing reliable, durable power with enhanced safety features in demanding environments. A potential caveat is its specific IP44 rating, which may not be suitable for submersion or extreme weather conditions. This 63A, 400V, 3P+E socket offers switchable functionality, CEE compliance, and solid protection against technical mishaps.

FAQs

What does IP44 rating mean?

An IP44 rating means the socket is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (e.g., wires) and protected against water splashed from any direction. It is not suitable for immersion in water.

Can this socket be used for single-phase power?

No, this is a 3-phase (3P+E) socket designed for three-phase power supplies. It requires a compatible 400V three-phase source.

What is the maximum current and voltage this socket can handle?

The socket is rated for a maximum of 63 Amperes (A) and 400 Volts (V).

Is a qualified electrician required for installation?

Yes, due to the high voltage and industrial nature of this product, installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance.

Does the socket come with a plug?

This product is a socket (female connector). You will need a compatible CEE plug (male connector) of the same rating to connect your equipment.

How do I maintain the socket?

Keep the socket clean and dry. Inspect wiring connections periodically for tightness. Ensure the protective flap or cover is securely closed when not in use to maintain its IP rating.

Troubleshooting

No power output

Verify that the incoming power supply is active and correctly wired to the socket. Check if the internal switch is in the 'ON' position. Inspect the connected cable and plug for damage.

Overheating during use

Ensure the connected load does not exceed the 63A rating. Check for loose connections, which can cause resistance and heat. Reduce the load or consult an electrician if the issue persists.

Socket does not provide 3-phase power

Confirm the incoming power source is indeed a 3-phase supply. Check the wiring to ensure all three phases and the earth are correctly connected to the socket terminals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High amperage (63A) and voltage (400V) rating for demanding applications.
  • Integrated switch for safe power control.
  • Robust and durable construction for industrial environments.
  • CEE compliance ensures adherence to safety standards.
  • IP44 rating provides protection against dust and water splashes.

Cons

  • IP44 rating is not suitable for submersion or very wet conditions.
  • Designed primarily for industrial use, may be over-specced for domestic applications.
  • Requires appropriate three-phase power source.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and safety standards. Connect the incoming power supply to the appropriate terminals (L1, L2, L3, N if applicable, and Earth) according to the 3P+E configuration. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

Compatibility:

This socket is compatible with CEE plugs of the same rating (63A, 400V, 3P+E). Ensure the power source matches the socket's voltage and phase requirements. It is designed for industrial environments and may require specific mounting or enclosure depending on the application.

Care:

Keep the socket clean and free from debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Regularly inspect the socket and its connections for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the IP44 protective cover is always closed when not in use.
