This unit is housed in a durable plastic casing finished in a distinct red color, which is specifically designed to facilitate easy identification of dedicated power circuits or emergency supply lines. With a compact design and standard electrical parameters, it integrates seamlessly into existing modular installation systems.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this socket is its high-visibility red finish, which serves as an essential visual indicator for specialized electrical circuits, such as those connected to uninterruptible power supplies or backup generators. The robust plastic construction ensures long-term durability, while the standardized dimensions allow for quick and straightforward installation in compatible mounting frames. Its reliable performance at 16A and 250V makes it a dependable choice for professional electrical setups requiring clear circuit differentiation.

Suitable for

• Dedicated power supply circuits
• Emergency lighting systems
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connections
• Industrial or office environments requiring color-coded power identification

This socket is not intended for outdoor use or areas with high moisture levels due to its IP20 rating, which provides no protection against water ingress. It may also be unsuitable for environments where high-impact resistance is required, as the standard plastic housing is designed for indoor, protected electrical installations.

Key specifications

• Rated voltage: 250V
• Rated current: 16A
• Protection rating: IP20
• Material: Durable plastic
• Color: Red
• Dimensions: 45 mm x 45 mm x 42.3 mm

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The socket is designed to be snapped into a compatible modular frame or trunking system. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process. Connect the phase, neutral, and earth wires to the corresponding terminals on the rear of the socket, ensuring all connections are secure and properly tightened to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility with your existing modular frames or trunking systems
• Ensure the red color coding aligns with your facility's electrical safety standards
• Confirm that the installation environment is dry and protected from moisture

For optimal safety and performance, ensure that the total load connected to the socket does not exceed the rated 16A capacity. Regularly inspect the socket for any signs of physical damage or discoloration to maintain a safe electrical connection.
