Product Information

Full details

The Legrand Hypra Industrial Socket (MPN: 0 511 30) is designed for professionals seeking a reliable and environmentally conscious power connection solution. Its key benefit lies in its robust build and IP44 rating, offering protection against splashes and dust, ideal for demanding environments. A caveat for potential users is that it is a switched, interlocked socket, meaning it requires a specific plug to be inserted before power is supplied and removed before the plug can be withdrawn. This guide covers its features, performance, setup, and maintenance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does IP44 rating mean for this socket?

IP44 means the socket is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires or tools) and against water splashed from any direction. It is not protected against immersion in water.

What type of plug is compatible with this socket?

This socket requires a compatible 16A, 3-pole plus earth industrial plug that is designed to engage with the interlocked mechanism.

Can I use this socket outdoors?

The IP44 rating provides protection against splashes, making it suitable for use in exposed or outdoor locations where it might encounter rain or spray, provided it is not submerged.

How does the interlocked socket feature enhance safety?

The interlock ensures that power is only supplied to the socket when a compatible plug is fully inserted. It also prevents the plug from being removed until the power is switched off, significantly reducing the risk of electrical shock.

What is the current and voltage rating of this socket?

This socket is rated for 16A. The voltage rating is typically 400V for 3-pole plus earth configurations in industrial settings, though always confirm with the specific electrical system requirements.

Is this socket switched?

Yes, this is an interlocked socket, which means it has a switching mechanism integrated with the plug insertion and removal process for safety.

Troubleshooting

Socket not providing power

Ensure the compatible plug is fully inserted and the interlock mechanism has engaged. Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the power supply. Verify that the power source is live.

Interlock mechanism feels stiff or stuck

Inspect the socket and plug for any foreign objects or debris. Clean the contact areas and the interlock mechanism. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Socket appears damaged

Immediately disconnect power to the socket. Do not use the socket if it shows signs of physical damage, cracked housing, or melted components. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Installation of the Legrand Hypra socket should be performed by a qualified electrician. It is designed for built-in mounting, requiring a minimum box depth of 70mm and specific dimensions of 115 x 115 x 116mm (W x H x D). Ensure the power supply is isolated before beginning any installation work.

Compatibility:

This socket is designed to work with a compatible Legrand 16A plug that matches its 3-pole plus earth configuration. The interlocked mechanism requires the correct mating plug to be used for safe operation.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the socket for any signs of damage.
  • Keep the socket clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents.
  • Ensure the protective flap, if applicable, closes properly after use to maintain IP44 rating.
  • Periodically check that the interlock mechanism operates smoothly.
