Portable Socket 32A 5P 400V Red TWIST Type B IP44 by Elektromet

The Elektromet Portable Socket 32A 5P 400V Red TWIST Type B IP44 is a compact, portable industrial socket designed for safe temporary power distribution. It features a TWIST locking coupling and five contacts that provide three-phase power plus neutral and earth, suitable for Type B installations. The IP44-rated housing offers protection against splashing water and solid objects larger than 1 mm, allowing use in many indoor and outdoor work environments where secure, locked electrical connections are required.

Advantages

This portable socket delivers a secure TWIST lock to prevent accidental disconnection and ensures stable three-phase delivery with dedicated neutral and earth contacts. The 32A current rating supports heavy-duty equipment and distribution units, while the compact, colored housing simplifies identification on site. IP44 protection increases reliability in damp or dusty conditions, and the design focuses on straightforward connection and resistance to typical mechanical stresses encountered in temporary installations.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution on construction and renovation sites
• Industrial workstations and maintenance areas requiring three-phase supply
• Outdoor events and temporary installations with moderate exposure to weather
• Portable distribution boxes and mobile generators

Key specifications

• Nominal current: 32 A
• Number of poles: 5 (three phases, neutral, earth)
• Rated voltage: 400 V (three-phase)
• Connection type: TWIST locking coupling, Type B configuration
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash and solid object protection)
• Housing: portable, impact-resistant design with red color for site visibility

How to use

Ensure the supply is switched off and conforms to the required three-phase Type B wiring before making connections. Align the plug with the socket, insert fully and rotate to engage the TWIST locking mechanism until it clicks, verifying a secure connection. After use, rotate and withdraw the plug, then cover or store the socket to protect it from prolonged exposure to weather. Regularly inspect contacts and housing for wear, contamination or damage and replace if functionality is compromised.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket in installations that match the 32A/400V rating and Type B wiring standards. Avoid using the product where ingress protection higher than IP44 is required, and do not expose the device to heavy direct water jets. Periodic inspection and cleaning of contacts will help maintain reliable performance in temporary and outdoor environments.
