PCE Portable Plug Phase Reverser 16A 5P 400V Red IP44 model 7015-6

PCE Portable Plug Phase Reverser 16A 5P 400V Red IP44 model 7015-6 is a mobile five-pole industrial plug designed to provide a temporary connection with integrated phase reversal capability. Rated for 16 A and 400 V, the device features a splash-protected housing to allow use in outdoor, workshop, or construction environments where moisture and dirt exposure is possible. The red, durable enclosure enhances visibility on site and supports safe, short-term power distribution and phase rotation correction when connecting motors or three-phase equipment.

Advantages

The portable plug combines a compact, robust design with the ability to reverse phase rotation without additional wiring changes, reducing downtime during installation or equipment repositioning. Its IP44 protection ensures resistance to splashes and ingress of coarse particles, while the five-pole configuration provides separate protective earth and neutral contacts for safe three-phase connections. The bright red color improves identification and reduces the risk of mistaken connections in busy work areas.

Suitable for

• Temporary power feeds on construction sites and outdoor installations
• Workshop and maintenance environments requiring three-phase connections
• Situations where motor rotation must be corrected quickly without rewiring
• Portable distribution boards and site generators with matching receptacles

When it may not be suitable

This product is intended for temporary and splash-protected environments; it is not rated for continuous immersion or for use in fully wet or hazardous locations where a higher ingress protection or intrinsic safety certification is required. It is also not intended for permanent fixed installations that demand recessed or panel-mounted connectors designed for continuous industrial duty.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 16 A
• Voltage rating: 400 V (three-phase)
• Poles: 5P (three phases, neutral, earth)
• Ingress protection: IP44 (splash-protected)
• Housing: durable red enclosure for high visibility
• Function: integrated phase reversal for changing rotation

How to use

Connect the plug to a compatible 5P 400 V receptacle that supports 16 A. Ensure the supply is switched off before making the connection. After inserting and securing the plug, switch on the supply and verify correct phase rotation and proper earthing before operating connected equipment. Use the phase reversal function as needed to correct motor rotation; follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions for safe startup and any required interlocks. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or before repositioning the plug.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with the outlet type and supply voltage at your site (5-pole, 400 V, 16 A)
• Assess whether IP44 protection is adequate for your environment or if a higher IP rating is required
• Check that integrated phase reversal meets your need to change motor rotation without wiring changes
• Ensure cable size and gland compatibility for safe connection and current capacity

Usage recommendations

Use the PCE 16A 5P 400V portable plug for temporary three-phase connections where quick phase correction is needed; always follow local electrical codes and the equipment manufacturer's safety instructions, verify earthing and phase sequence after connection, and avoid exposure to heavy spray or immersion.
