Portable Industrial Socket Elektromet TWIST GPP-16/4 red 4P 16A 400V

Electromet TWIST GPP-16/4 is a portable industrial socket in red, designed for temporary or mobile three-phase power distribution. The unit provides a 4-pole, 16 A, 400 V connection with a twist-lock contact system intended to reduce accidental disconnections. Constructed for use in construction sites, workshops, events and maintenance operations, this IEC-style socket combines a compact footprint with mechanical durability and straightforward handling.

Advantages

The Electromet TWIST GPP-16/4 offers secure twist-lock coupling for a reliable electrical connection and reduced risk of contact separation under vibration or pull. Its robust housing resists mechanical stress typical for industrial and temporary installations, while the standardized pin configuration simplifies compatibility with common three-phase equipment. The red color provides clear visual identification of phase-rated outlets in mixed-power environments.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution on construction sites and renovation projects
• Workshops and service areas where mobile three-phase equipment is used
• Event power supply and stage setups requiring IEC-style connections
• Maintenance and testing tasks that need quick, standardized plug-and-socket connections

When it may not be suitable

This portable socket is intended for temporary or mobile use and is not a substitute for permanently installed wiring or fixed distribution boards. It is designed for environments compatible with its ingress protection and mechanical ratings; for permanent outdoor installations in exposed conditions or for locations with special regulatory requirements, a purpose-designed fixed solution or a product with higher environmental protection may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Poles: 4 (three phases + earth)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V (three-phase)
• Connection type: twist-lock socket
• Color: red (for phase identification)
• Intended use: portable/temporary three-phase power

How to use

Verify that the supply meets the rated voltage and current (400 V, 16 A) and that the equipment being connected is compatible with a 4-pole IEC-style connection. Ensure power is switched off before connecting or disconnecting plugs. Insert the matching plug into the socket and engage the twist-lock action until it seats securely. After use, disconnect with power off, inspect for visible damage, and store in a dry place. Installation and maintenance should be performed by a qualified person according to local electrical regulations.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility of connected equipment with a 4-pole, 16 A, 400 V supply
• Assess whether a portable socket meets site environmental and safety requirements
• Check whether a higher IP rating or a fixed installation is needed for permanent outdoor use

Usage recommendations

Use the Electromet TWIST GPP-16/4 for temporary three-phase connections where secure twist-lock coupling and quick deployment are required. Always follow local wiring regulations and perform regular visual inspections for wear, corrosion, or damage before connecting loads.
