Portable 16A 4P 400V Twist Plug, Elektromet WPP Type B 16/4 IP44 (red)

The Portable 16A 4P 400V Twist Plug, Elektromet WPP Type B 16/4 IP44 (red) is an industrial-grade portable connector designed for temporary three-phase power connections. It provides a secure 4-pole connection (three phases plus earth) rated at 16 amps and 400 volts, housed in a durable, splash-resistant casing suitable for both indoor and outdoor use where IP44 protection is required. The twist locking mechanism ensures stable contact during operation and quick disconnection when needed.

Advantages

This Elektromet twist plug delivers reliable electrical contact and mechanical stability thanks to its twist-lock design and robust construction. The IP44-rated housing protects against splashing water and solid objects over 1 mm, making it appropriate for workshop and site environments. Its compact, portable form factor makes it easy to install and transport for temporary power distribution of tools, machinery, and event equipment.

Suitable for

• Temporary power supply for portable three-phase tools and machinery
• Construction sites and outdoor installations with splash exposure
• Workshops, industrial maintenance and repairs
• Event power distribution for stages, lighting and sound equipment

When it may not be suitable

This twist plug is not intended for permanent fixed wiring installations where a higher degree of ingress protection or fixed-panel connectors are required. It may also be unsuitable in environments demanding IP65/IP66 or higher protection against dust jets and water jets, or in applications that require higher current rating than 16 A.

Key specifications

• Poles: 4 (three-phase + earth)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Protection class: IP44 (splash resistant)
• Connection type: twist-lock plug
• Housing: durable, impact-resistant material, red colour for easy identification

How to use

Ensure the supply is switched off before connecting. Fit conductors into the designated terminals according to phase and earth markings and tighten terminal screws to specified torque values. Insert the plug into a compatible socket and rotate until the twist-lock engages to secure the connection. Verify correct connection and restore power. For disconnection, switch off the supply and rotate the plug to release before pulling out. Follow local electrical codes and safety procedures when installing and using the plug.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with the socket type and three-phase system voltage at the installation site
• Confirm that a 16 A current rating meets the load requirements of your equipment
• Assess environmental protection needs—IP44 is splash resistant but not fully dust-tight or jet-proof
• Check wiring cross-section and terminal torque requirements for safe installation

Usage recommendations

Use the plug for temporary, portable three-phase connections in workshops, sites, and events; avoid prolonged exposure to heavy weather without additional protection and always follow manufacturer installation guidelines and local electrical regulations.
