Benefits of Industrial Plugs and Sockets

Industrial and multiphase plugs and sockets provide a connection to the electrical
mains rated at higher voltages and currents than household plugs and sockets.
They are generally used in  polyphase systems , with high currents, or when
protection from environmental hazards is required. Industrial outlets may have
weatherproof covers, waterproofing sleeves, or may be interlocked with a switch
to prevent accidental disconnection of an energized plug.

Construction and Color Coding

Voltage rating and other characteristics are represented by a colour code
(in three-phase plugs the stated voltage is the phase-phase voltage, not the
phase-neutral voltage). Plugs have the earth pin of a larger diameter than the
others, and located in different places depending on the voltage rating, making it
impossible to mate, for instance, a blue plug with a yellow socket. Since the
different current ratings have different overall sizes, it is also not possible to mate
different pin configurations or current ratings. For example, a 16 A 3P+E 400 V
plug will not mate with a 16 A 3P+N+E 400 V socket and a 16 A P+N+E 230 V plug
will not mate with a 32 A P+N+E 230 V socket.

 Industrial Socket

A socket is a way through which the plug connects the appliance, which generally
consists, plastic covering that coats the wiring and socket loops provided in the plug settings such that nickel is coated in the wires to avoid corrosion as well as
easier conductivity.

An artificially hollow electrical device in which plugs of several applications fits in,
to receive the adequate energy, is called Industrial socket. These days many
different types of sockets are available as per the application and requirement.
Some of the main types are raw socket, stream socket, datagram socket, etc. Also,
the industrial sockets are available in the various combinations of pins.

Industrial Plug

A plug consists of easier words pins, holder translator and connector. A socket
holds in detail, a thread to ensure contact, an open contact sleeve to protect it by
dust and other dirt, special design to hold the socket current, one-piece contact
pin in conductivity and nickel plated for non-corrosion conductivity.

Application In Industries

At C&S Electric, it is our consistent endeavour to bring the best quality industrial
plugs and sockets for our customers. Our range of industrial plugs and sockets are
safe, reliable and durable. The range is designed to meet individual application
needs and is available from 16A to 63A up to IP67 rating.

Key Benefits of industrial plugs and sockets are:

• Industrial plugs and sockets are so much safer to use than bare wires and
  cables in unusual conditions. In places having high temperature or humidity they
  work perfectly well, as most of the high-quality industrial plugs and switches are
  made of thermoplastic material and are water-proof.
• They are relatively cheaper and affordable than other wires or cables that are
  used for various purposes.
• Industrial plugs and switches are essential and necessary for any electrical
  devices to connect and disconnect with the power.
• They are not only easy to install but are extremely convenient to use, high
  impact resistant and have a long life.
