PCE Power Twist fixed socket 63A 400V 3P+N+Z (model 135-6) without cable gland

PCE Power Twist fixed socket model 135-6 is a fixed industrial connector rated for 63A at 400V, configured for three-phase plus neutral and protective earth (3P+N+Z). Designed for immobile electrical installations, the socket provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection intended for distribution panels, machinery hookups and permanent site power connections. The unit is supplied without a cable gland to allow selection of the appropriate gland for the installed cable and environmental conditions.

Advantages

The Power Twist fixed socket offers a robust, high-current connection with resistance to mechanical stress and frequent use. Its fixed mounting design ensures reliable electrical contact and reduced risk of accidental disconnection. The absence of a preinstalled cable gland allows installers to choose a gland suited to cable diameter and ingress protection requirements, enabling flexible integration into existing panels or new installations.

Suitable for

• Permanent electrical distribution panels in industrial or commercial buildings
• Fixed machinery and production line power supply connections
• Worksites and temporary installations where a permanent fixed socket is required
• Enclosures and switchboards requiring a robust 63A 400V interface

Key specifications

• Rated current: 63 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Contact configuration: 3-phase + neutral + protective earth (3P+N+Z)
• Mounting type: fixed / panel-mounted
• Design: industrial Power Twist connector style
• Cable gland: not included (required separately to match cable diameter)

How to use

Install the socket into a suitable panel cutout and secure it according to mounting instructions and applicable electrical standards. Prepare the supply cable, select and fit a compatible cable gland for the cable diameter, and make the conductor terminations to the corresponding terminals for phases, neutral and earth. Ensure all connections are tightened to the torque values specified by local regulations or installer guidance and verify correct phase sequence and earthing continuity before energising the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Select a cable gland that provides adequate mechanical strain relief and ingress protection for the installation environment. Use the socket only within its rated current and voltage limits and perform regular inspections of terminal tightness and protective earth continuity as part of scheduled maintenance.
