Portable PCE industrial plug Shark 16A 400V 3P+Z+N IP44 (model 015-6)

The PCE portable industrial plug Shark 16A 400V 3P+Z+N IP44 (model 015-6) is a compact three-phase power connector with neutral and protective earth designed for temporary and mobile power distribution. Rated for 16 amps at 400 volts, this portable plug provides a robust electrical connection for workshop equipment, construction site tools and event installations where a reliable, splash-resistant connector is needed. The IP44 housing offers protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes, while its compact form factor supports easy handling and quick connection.

Advantages

The PCE Shark plug combines a standardized three-phase configuration with neutral and protective earth to ensure correct phase alignment and grounding during use. Its IP44-rated enclosure reduces the risk of ingress from splashes, making it suitable for environments with occasional moisture or light exposure. The plug’s ergonomic design and clear contact layout facilitate safe and fast mating and unmating, and the durable construction is intended to withstand frequent handling in industrial and temporary power applications.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution on construction sites
• Powering three-phase workshop machines and tools
• Event and stage power installations
• Industrial maintenance and portable equipment connections

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V (three-phase)
• Contact configuration: 3 phases + neutral + protective earth
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash-resistant)
• Design: portable, compact industrial plug housing
• Application: temporary and mobile power connections

How to use

Ensure the supply is switched off before connecting or disconnecting the plug. Align the plug contacts with the mating receptacle according to the keyed shape and push in until the connector seats fully; if present, engage any locking mechanism. After connection, restore power and verify correct operation of the connected equipment. For disconnection, switch off the supply first and then release any lock before withdrawing the plug. Regularly inspect contacts and housing for damage and contamination; replace the connector if any defects are found.

Usage recommendations

Use the plug with compatible three-phase receptacles rated for the same current and voltage. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or immersion; IP44 provides splash resistance but not protection against jets of water or submersion. Perform periodic visual inspections and clean contacts from dirt and corrosion to maintain reliable electrical connection and safety.
