Tarel electrical inlet socket 32A 400V 5P IP44 model 117

Tarel electrical inlet socket 32A 400V 5P IP44 model 117 is a five-pole inlet designed to provide a secure method of connecting three-phase power and protective earth for equipment requiring a 32 ampere supply at 400 volts. The unit features an IP44-rated enclosure that protects against splashing water and access to hazardous parts, making it suitable for both indoor rooms and covered outdoor locations where splash resistance is required. The inlet is intended for fixed installation into panels or enclosures to create a durable, mating connection point for compatible plugs.

Advantages

The inlet offers a standardized five-pin configuration for safe and reliable three-phase connections with earth and neutral. Its 32A current rating and 400V voltage rating match common industrial and mobile power requirements. IP44 protection reduces the risk of water ingress in damp or splash-prone environments, and the design supports secure mechanical mating to limit accidental disconnection. The component is compact and intended for straightforward panel mounting and routine serviceability.

Suitable for

• Power supply to portable machinery and mobile equipment
• Fixed installations in workshops, garages and service vehicles
• Temporary outdoor power points under covered or sheltered conditions
• Industrial panels and distribution boxes requiring five-pin connections

Key specifications

• Contact configuration: five poles (three phases, neutral, earth)
• Rated current: 32 A
• Rated voltage: 400 V
• Ingress protection: IP44 (protection against solid objects >1 mm and splashing water)
• Mounting type: panel/enclosure inlet
• Application environment: indoor and covered outdoor locations

How to use

Install the inlet into a properly prepared cutout in a panel or enclosure following local electrical codes and the installer’s safety procedures. Ensure power is disconnected before wiring. Connect conductors to the corresponding terminals for the three phases, neutral and earth, using appropriately rated conductor sizes and secure terminals to the manufacturer’s recommended torque values. After wiring, mount the inlet securely, verify sealing and gaskets for IP44 integrity, and test continuity and insulation before placing the circuit into service.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 32A, 5-pole plugs and cables rated for 400V and appropriate environmental protection. Avoid direct exposure to heavy rain or high-pressure washing to maintain IP44 protection. Periodically inspect contacts and seals for wear, corrosion or damage and perform tightening and maintenance with the supply isolated.
