Heavy-duty industrial plugs and sockets are rated at higher currents and voltages than their standard household counterparts. They’re widely used for indoor and outdoor electrical power distribution, powering large machinery such as generators, compressors and welding machines.
What are industrial plugs?
Industrial plugs connect to industrial sockets to receive a current for powering up heavy machinery and industrial equipment.
What are industrial sockets?
Industrial sockets are hollow devices that act as a power output when fitted with industrial plugs.
How are industrial plugs and sockets different to domestic ones?
Industrial sockets deliver a much higher power output than household mains plugs can provide. Similarly, industrial plugs are designed to efficiently transport these higher voltages and currents without short circuiting.
Do you supply interlocked sockets?
Yes, several of our industrial sockets are interlocked. This prevents the switch from closing if the plug isn’t inserted and keeps the plug from coming loose when the switch is closed.
Do you offer various options for poles?
Our range includes both 2 and 3 pole options, as well as neutral and earth poles depending on the model.
Are these components weatherproof?
Most modern industrial plugs and sockets are purpose built to withstand high winds, heavy rain and other bad weather conditions. This makes them safe for outside use.
What are the specifications for these products?
You can find more information about each product by clicking the Specifications tab on a product page. This will give you information such as the current rating, IP rating and operating voltage.
Do these products carry a warranty?
Yes, they do. Our industrial plugs and sockets typically carry a warranty of around 2-3 years.
