Fixed Power Socket PCE 16A 5P 400V IP44 red, compact enclosure (115-6k)

Fixed Power Socket PCE 16A 5P 400V IP44 red, compact enclosure (115-6k) is a permanently mounted industrial power inlet designed to provide a secure three-phase connection where space is limited. The device supports 16 A and 400 V with five poles (three phases, neutral and earth) and comes in a red, compact enclosure with IP44 protection for splash resistance and basic dust ingress protection. It is intended for commercial and light-industrial use to feed portable machinery, distribution panels or permanently installed equipment.

Advantages

The compact red enclosure reduces the required mounting space while keeping clear visual identification of a three-phase supply. IP44-rated protection ensures reliable performance in environments where splashes or light dust exposure occur, and the fixed design provides a robust, tamper-resistant electrical connection for repeated use. The five-pole configuration simplifies wiring for three-phase circuits with neutral and earth conductors.

Suitable for

• Feeding three-phase portable equipment in workshops and service areas
• Permanent connections to distribution boards and control panels
• Powering small to medium-sized machinery in light-industrial settings
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations on construction sites with sheltered conditions

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Number of poles: 5 (three phases + neutral + earth)
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash and light dust protection)
• Enclosure color: red
• Mounting type: fixed/permanent installation
• Form factor: compact enclosure optimized for small footprint

How to use

Install the fixed socket on a suitable mounting surface following local electrical codes and safety standards. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring and use appropriately sized conductors and protective devices for a 16 A 400 V three-phase circuit. Tighten terminals to the manufacturer's recommended torque and secure the enclosure so that the IP44 seal is maintained. After installation, test the connection with appropriate instrumentation to confirm correct phase sequence, continuity of earth and insulation resistance before applying full load.

Usage recommendations

Use this socket in environments protected from heavy water jets or immersion; IP44 provides splash resistance but not full waterproofing. Pair the socket with matching plugs and cables rated for 16 A and 400 V and include suitable overcurrent and residual-current protection in the installation. Regularly inspect terminals and enclosure seals for signs of wear or damage, and perform periodic electrical testing in line with local regulations.
