Key Features

Non Interlocked Safety Disconnect: Engineered with a specialized patent pending flameproof contact chamber. Electrical connection and mechanical separation take place safely within an enclosed internal cylinder, eliminating arcing risks when plugging or unplugging under active load.
Dual-Gland Feed Through Housing: Constructed with a spacious wall mounting base that allows for easy wiring. It features a bottom entry PG16 cable gland for tight strain relief and moisture anchoring, along with a secondary knocked out port position for flexible system routing.
Standardized Voltage Color Coding & Keying: Displays high visibility blue trim rings and voltage markers matching standard 200V AC to 250V AC operation profiles. Receptacles are physically keyed to accept matching ATX plugs (such as the PRE316PB), completely ruling out human cross voltage error.
Rugged Weatherproof Construction: Molded from a high impact, UV stabilized fiberglass reinforced polyamide compound carrying an impressive mechanical shock score of IK10. The integrated spring loaded flip lid maintains an IP66 ingress rating when fully sealed, keeping out aggressive water jets, industrial dust, and chemical vapors.
High Short Circuit Interruption Capacity: Rated with an impressive electrical short circuit breaking capacity of 20 kA, protecting factory infrastructure from high current system surges.
