FAMATEL 13318 Straight Panel-Mounted Plug, 16A, 5-Pole, IP54, Phase Inverter

The FAMATEL 13318 is a professional straight panel-mounted industrial plug engineered for secure and efficient power distribution in demanding environments. This 16A, 5-pole connector is built to withstand rigorous industrial use, providing a reliable interface for heavy-duty machinery and electrical systems. Its integrated phase inverter is a standout feature, allowing users to quickly and safely adjust the phase sequence without the need for complex rewiring, which significantly reduces downtime during equipment installation or maintenance.

Advantages

This industrial plug offers exceptional durability and ease of use in professional settings. The inclusion of a phase inverter simplifies the setup of three-phase motors and equipment, ensuring correct rotation direction with minimal effort. The robust construction ensures long-term performance, while the IP54 rating provides essential protection against dust ingress and water splashes, making it suitable for various indoor and outdoor industrial applications where environmental exposure is a factor.

Suitable for

• Industrial machinery and production lines
• Three-phase motor connections
• Construction site power distribution
• Workshop and factory electrical installations
• Temporary power setups requiring phase sequence adjustment

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for residential use or standard household wall outlets. It is specifically intended for industrial-grade electrical systems and should not be used in environments requiring higher ingress protection ratings, such as full submersion or high-pressure water jet cleaning.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 16A
• Configuration: 5-pole (3P+N+E)
• Protection rating: IP54
• Mounting type: Straight panel-mounted
• Feature: Integrated phase inverter

How to use

The FAMATEL 13318 should be installed by a qualified electrician into a compatible panel cutout. Ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected before beginning the installation. Secure the plug to the panel using appropriate mounting hardware, ensuring a tight seal to maintain the IP54 protection rating. Once installed, connect the corresponding industrial socket. To use the phase inverter, follow the manufacturer's instructions to rotate the internal mechanism, which allows for the reversal of the phase sequence to match the requirements of your connected equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your electrical system is compatible with a 16A, 5-pole configuration.
• Ensure the panel mounting space is sufficient for this specific plug design.
• Confirm that the IP54 rating meets the environmental requirements of your installation site.
• Check that your equipment requires a phase inversion feature for correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the electrical circuit is de-energized before performing any adjustments to the phase inverter or maintenance on the plug. Regularly inspect the housing and contacts for signs of wear or environmental damage to maintain optimal safety and performance.
