Portable Power Socket PCE Shark 16A 400V 3P+Z IP44 model 214-6

PCE Shark portable power socket model 214-6 is a 16A, 400V industrial connector with three phases plus earth (3P+Z) and IP44 protection. It is intended for temporary power distribution where a compact, splash-resistant connection is required. The socket enables safe connection of compatible portable machinery, power tools and equipment in workshops, construction sites, events and other locations with moderate exposure to dust and water splashes.

Advantages

The socket combines a 16A current rating with a 400V three-phase configuration and an earth contact to support a range of portable industrial devices. IP44-rated housing provides protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes from any direction, suitable for outdoor and semi-exposed indoor use. The compact design and standardized connector format make installation and replacement straightforward, while robust materials ensure mechanical durability under typical jobsite conditions.

Suitable for

• Temporary power distribution for portable machinery and power tools
• Construction sites and renovation works
• Event power supply and outdoor temporary installations
• Workshops, maintenance areas and industrial service tasks

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V (three-phase)
• Contact configuration: three phases plus earth (3P+Z)
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash-resistant)
• Intended use: portable, temporary power connections
• Housing: impact-resistant industrial plastic (typical)

How to use

Ensure the supply is switched off and locked out before connecting or disconnecting the socket. Align the connector with the mating plug and insert fully until it seats securely; verify the earth contact is engaged. Use only compatible plugs and cables rated for 16 A and 400 V three-phase operation. After connection, restore power and confirm equipment operates correctly. For disconnection, switch off the supply, remove the plug and store the socket in a dry place if not permanently installed.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with cables and plugs rated for the same voltage and current to maintain safety and compliance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heavy rain; for continuous outdoor installations consider higher IP-rated enclosures. Regularly inspect contacts and housing for damage or contamination and replace the unit if signs of wear compromise connection integrity.
