Portable Socket Elektromet TWIST GPP Type B 32A 4P 400V IP44 (model 0001-00017-03165)

Portable TWIST GPP Type B socket by Elektromet is a 32A, 4-pole, 400V portable power outlet with IP44 protection. It is designed for temporary power distribution in industrial and construction environments, offering a secure 4P connection for three-phase equipment and a protective earth conductor. The robust housing and splash/dust resistance make it suitable for outdoor sites, workshops, and temporary installations where safe, reliable three-phase power is required.

Advantages

The TWIST GPP Type B socket provides a standardized three-phase connection with a dedicated grounding contact, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial equipment. Its IP44-rated construction protects the contacts from water splashes and solid objects over 1 mm, while the compact, portable design enables easy relocation and rapid connection on-site. The unit is built for repeated use in temporary installations and offers secure locking to reduce accidental disconnection.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution on construction sites and outdoor worksites
• Connecting three-phase machinery and tools in workshops and factories
• Events and temporary installations requiring a 32A, 4-pole 400V supply
• Areas where splash and dust resistance (IP44) is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This portable socket is intended for temporary and semi-permanent installations; it is not a substitute for fixed, permanently installed industrial distribution boards. IP44 protection guards against splashes and ingress of small solids but is not rated for direct water jet exposure or prolonged immersion, so it may not be suitable for very wet or high-pressure cleaning environments. For locations requiring higher ingress protection, different enclosures or IP ratings should be considered.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 32 A
• Poles: 4 (three phases + earth)
• Voltage: 400 V (three-phase)
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash and dust resistant)
• Application: portable/temporary three-phase power connection
• Construction: durable portable housing suitable for site use

How to use

Mount or position the portable socket on a stable surface or attach it to a suitable support as required for the worksite. Ensure the supply is switched off before making connections. Connect an appropriately sized and rated power cable to the socket following local electrical codes and wiring conventions for three-phase 32A circuits, verifying phase sequence and earth continuity. After secure connection, switch the supply on and check proper operation of connected equipment. Disconnect power before servicing or moving the unit.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your equipment requires a 32A, 4-pole 400V connection (three-phase + earth)
• Check if IP44 protection is adequate for your site conditions or if a higher IP rating is needed
• Ensure cables and plugs used are rated for 32A and match local wiring standards
• Verify compatibility with the phase rotation and earthing practices at your location

Usage recommendations

Use the Elektromet TWIST GPP Type B socket for temporary three-phase power needs where portability and basic environmental protection are required. Regularly inspect contacts and housing for damage or corrosion, keep the socket clean and dry when possible, and always follow applicable safety standards and local electrical regulations when installing and operating the device.
