Portable 32A 5P 400V Red TWIST WPP Plug Type B IP44 by Elektromet (MPN 922085)

The Portable 32A 5P 400V Red TWIST WPP Plug Type B by Elektromet is a portable industrial plug intended for temporary three-phase power connections. It provides a secure twist-lock mating for 32-amp circuits and is finished in red for visibility. The housing and contacts are designed for use with distribution boards, generators and mobile equipment where a 5-pole, 400 V connection is required and basic protection against water splashes and dust ingress is needed.

Advantages

This TWIST WPP plug combines a mechanical twist-lock feature with a compact, robust housing to reduce the risk of accidental disconnection under load. The 5-pole configuration supports three-phase power plus neutral and earth, enabling safe supply of three-phase equipment. IP44-rated protection offers resistance to solid objects greater than 1 mm and protection from splashing water, making the plug suitable for outdoor use when not exposed to heavy rain or direct water jets. The red finish improves visibility on worksites and helps with phase or circuit identification.

Suitable for

• Temporary power connections on construction sites and event installations
• Connection of generators to distribution boards and mobile distribution units
• Powering portable three-phase machinery and equipment requiring 32A
• Industrial maintenance tasks where a secure, detachable connection is needed

When it may not be suitable

This plug is not intended for permanent fixed installations where a dedicated, hard-wired connector is required by local electrical regulations. IP44 protection does not guarantee safety in environments with heavy water exposure, direct water jets, or prolonged immersion; choose a higher IP-rated connector for such conditions. It may also be incompatible with systems that require a different pin layout or a different current or voltage rating.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 32 A
• Poles: 5 (three phases + neutral + earth)
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Color: red for visibility
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash and solid object protection)
• Connection type: twist-lock portable plug

How to use

Ensure the supply is switched off before making the connection. Align the plug with the matching socket so the pins engage, then insert and twist to lock the plug in place following the mechanical stop. Verify the mechanical lock is engaged and the plug is stable before switching the supply on. For disconnection, switch the supply off first, then twist and withdraw the plug. Inspect the plug and socket regularly for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage and replace if any defects are found.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the required current and voltage ratings match your system (32A, 400V).
• Verify the receiving socket and pin configuration are compatible with a Type B 5-pole twist-lock plug.
• Assess the environmental conditions to ensure IP44 protection is sufficient.
• Check that a portable twist-lock plug meets any applicable installation regulations and safety requirements.

Usage recommendations

Use this Elektromet TWIST WPP plug for temporary three-phase connections in dry or moderately exposed outdoor locations, always isolate supply before connecting or disconnecting, and perform routine visual inspections to maintain reliable operation.
