Overview
The Palazzoli 472730 is an interlocked socket-outlet from the TAIS series, engineered for reliable power distribution in heavy-duty industrial applications. Built in thermosetting glass-reinforced polyester (GRP), this 16A 415V receptacle incorporates mechanical interlock and fuse-holder technology to safeguard connected equipment against overcurrent and accidental plug withdrawal during operation.
Key Features
- Mechanical interlock prevents unsafe plug removal during powered operation
- Integrated fuse-holder with support for E16 fuses (max 16A)
- Thermosetting GRP enclosure resists corrosion and chemical exposure in harsh industrial environments
- IP66/IP67 ingress protection rating ensures performance in wet and dusty conditions
- Three-phase plus earth (3P+E) configuration for AC 415V three-phase power distribution
- Complies with IEC/EN 60309-1 industrial connector standards
- Padlockable handle for additional security and lockout capability
