Plugs & Receptacles

Industrial electrical plugs and receptacles are specifically designed to handle higher currents and voltages used in harsh industrial environments. The use of safety features such as insulated and waterproofing sleeves, recessed sockets, blocking shutters on the sockets and sockets designed to accept plugs inserted at the correct orientation prevent serious accidents and injuries.

Switch-Rated plugs and receptacles prevent unintended access to live parts with an integral switching function that ensures that the plug contacts are de-engergized before an operator can remove the plug from the receptacle. Visual verification is provided when the power is off. The operator’s safety is assured without the need to perform hazard analysis, use electrical protective equipment or establish flash protection boundaries.

Receptacles equipped with ground fault circuit interruption protects agains shock hazards associated with ground shorts, and for enhanced safety, the grounding pin can be located at the top to prevent shorting between the hot and neutral blades.
