Portable PCE 16A 5P 400V 6h IP44/54 plug GRIP 0153-6

Portable PCE 16A 5P 400V 6h IP44/54 plug GRIP 0153-6 is a portable industrial connector designed for temporary three-phase power distribution. The connector provides a 16 ampere rating across five poles (three phases, neutral and earth) with a 6h clock position for correct mating. Built to withstand jobsite conditions, the plug offers IP44 splash protection in assembled installations and IP54 protection when mated with compatible sockets and covers, making it suitable for outdoor and indoor temporary power applications such as generators, site equipment and heavy-duty appliances that require a 400V connection.

Advantages

The PCE GRIP 0153-6 plug combines a compact housing with robust contact design to ensure reliable electrical connection under repeated use. Its five-pole configuration and 6h orientation reduce the risk of incorrect connection. The specified IP44/54 protection levels help resist water ingress and dust in typical construction and industrial environments. The product is compatible with standard industrial sockets and is engineered for straightforward handling during installation and removal.

Suitable for

• Temporary three-phase power supply on construction sites
• Connecting portable generators and distribution boxes
• Powering heavy machinery and site tools that require 16A 400V
• Temporary electrical setups for events and maintenance works

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Poles: 5 (three phases, neutral, earth)
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Clock position: 6h
• Protection: IP44 (plug alone), IP54 (when mated with compatible socket/cover)
• Application: temporary industrial and construction power connections

How to use

Ensure power is switched off before connecting or disconnecting the plug. Align the 6h position and insert into a compatible industrial socket until fully engaged. Tighten any securing collars or locks if present to prevent accidental disconnection. For removal, unlock or release any securing mechanism first, then withdraw the plug while power is off. Regularly inspect the contacts and housing for damage or wear and replace the connector if any defects are found.

Usage recommendations

Use the plug only with compatible industrial sockets and ensure cable cross-section matches the current rating. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme weather without adequate protection, and perform periodic inspections to maintain safe operation. Follow local electrical safety rules and manufacturer guidance when installing and servicing the connector.
