All ofwhich assures safe operation, even in the mostadverse environmental plugs and sockets for industrial applicationscomply with European standards EN 60309-1 (Part 1:General requirements) and EN 60309-2 (Part 2.)

2 Dimensional interchangeability requirements for pinand contact-tube accessories of harmonisedconfigurations), which are equivalent to internationalstandards IEC 60309-1 and IEC standards govern appliances with ratedoperating voltage not exceeding 690 V, 500 Hz andrated current not exceeding 125 A, and are mainlydesigned for application in the manufacturing andservice industry, on building sites and similar main purpose of the standards is to preventaccidental or deliberate mismating of plugs andconnections which are not compatible in terms ofvoltage, current, frequency, polarity and type of use,which might therefore cause personal harm as well asdamage to the electric appliances which they TYPES This range is provided with many types of movableand fixed sockets and plugs .

EUREKA-HD Series (page 196)it includes Heavy Duty, 16A to 125 Aplugs and sockets IP44 and IP66 andIP67 for the American and EUmarkets. IEC309 Series (page 212)it includes 16A to 125A plugs andsockets IP44 and IP67 and so manyversions suitable for matching anyinstallation requirement.

Tighten the screws of the terminals to avoidoverheating.

5 Loose screws might cause fire hazards ordamage to the cables. Inspection and replacement of plugs and socketsshould be carried out only by suitably qualifiedpersonnel. Replace any plugs or sockets that show signs ofdamage (eg. burn marks). plugs and sockets should bechecked regularly, especially at the cable connectionpoints. plugs or sockets which have suffered impact or shockof any kind should be checked carefully, even if thereare no visible signs of pin:a component which establishes electric contact inplugs; it is manufactured from a solid brass bar and is nickel-plated to ensure it withstands corrosion and tube:a component which establishes electrical contactin sockets; a special elastic spring ensures perfect contact evenafter repeated & PhonePlugs andsocketsAdaptorsDomestic cablereelsLampholdersPlugs andsocketsInterlockedsocketsSwitchgearDi stributionassembliesAdaptorsIndustrialca ble reelsLight fittingsAccessoriesWire connectorsConduitsTrunkingIndexPlates and plugs and SocketsMAIN STANDARD REQUIREMENTSThe standards which govern the use of industrialplugs and sockets both for alternating current(frequency up to 500 Hz) and for direct current,distinguish the two categories by operating voltage.
