generals PLUSO plugs and socket-outlets for industrial purposes General characteristics Mechanical features This chapter explains the technical characteristics of the PLUSO series plugs and - mechanical resistance socket-outlets for industrial purposes. verified with the provisions of Article 24 of the EN 60309-1 standard (IEC 60309-1) The range of products covers a wide number of different installation requirements. - resistance to chemical agents The plugs and socket-outlets are suitable for fixed or mobile installations. The fixed see Table on page 8 plugs and socket-outlets may be wall or flush-mounted. - degree of protection Thanks to the wide range of the ILME enclosures of the FM, FC and BK series (types IP44 and IP67 according to EN 60529 (see information on page 7) BC...) the flush-mounting plugs and socket-outlets can be assembled rapidly in a group configuration. - resistance to glow-wire These construction features enable ILME plugs and socket-outlets to be suitable for in accordance with standard IEC 60695 -1-2: for enclosures: 960 C, 850 C and use in the most demanding applications: 750 C for inserts: 960 C - the mechanical industry - temperatures - the shipbuilding industry ambient: -25 C +40 C materials limit: -40 C +125 C - the chemical and petrochemical industry - self-extinguishing capacity - the services sector classification UL 94: - the building industry - the agricultural and livestock breeding sector for enclosures V2 e HB for 16A, 32A and 63A type inserts, V2 The following parameters must be considered when selecting the correct type of for types 125A, 5VA e V0 plugs and socket-outlets: rated current of the device to feed through plug and socket-outlet coupling the rated voltage of the power supply and the type of distribution (single phase or Materials three-phase, with or without the neutral conductor) to determine the number of - enclosures and inserts in self-extinguishing insulting thermoplastic material poles for the hour position. - anti-aging elastomer gaskets The hour position 1h is available for all those voltages or voltage ranges > 50V and - brass pins (nickel-plated for the 63A and 125A plugs and socket-outlets, on request for frequencies or ranges of frequencies not covered by the standards. for the 16A and 32A plugs and socket-outlets) The type of installation (fixed or mobile) to determine the construction type of the - self-centring brass contact tubes with zinc-plated steel spring plug and socket (flush-mounting straight or inclined, wall, mobile, mobile angled). - zinc-plated steel assembly screws (stainless steel for the 63A and 125A socket-outlets) The location of the installation to determine the degree of protection required - terminals with zinc-plated screws retained in their seats when unscrewed (IP44 or IP67) and the voltage (in some areas the installation standards require - 32A, 63A and 125A plugs and socket-outlets with two fixing screws in the terminals very low safety voltage). as protection against accidental loss - 63A and 125A plugs and socket-outlets terminals with zinc-plated steel plate for wire The following types of plugs and socket-outlets are available: protection - wall-mounting plugs and socket-outlets (low and extra-low voltage). - plugs and socket-outlets and straight flush-mounting socket-outlets (low and extra- low voltage). The supply package - plugs and inclined flush-mounting socket-outlets (low voltage) Plugs and socket-outlets are supplied with: - straight plugs and couplers (low and extra-low voltage). - anti-oil and anti-aging gaskets - angled plugs (low voltage). - self-threading fixing screws - 5-pole plugs with phase inverter (low voltage, SIP type). The following is available on request: - 5-pole single-block plugs and socket-outlets (low voltage, PEM type) for automated - cable glands, gaskets, lock nuts and sealing plugs for wall-mounting plugs and sock- cabling. et-outlets - FM, FC and BK (types BC...) ILME enclosures for flush-mounting plugs and socket- outlets Electrical Features rated frequency: 0 Hz (direct current), and from 50 Hz to 500 Hz rated operating voltage: the standard identifies two main types of use: - extra-low voltage socket-outlets (and relative plugs), (SELV safety requirements, in accordance with the CEI 64-8 installation standard), for effective voltage values of up to 50V inclusive - low voltage socket-outlets (and plugs) for effective voltage values of over 50V and up to 690V polarity: the versions are designed with: - 2 and 3 poles (extra-low voltage: 2P, 3P) - 3, 4 and 5 poles (low voltage: 2P+m, 3P+m, 3P+N+m) The 63A and 125A plugs and socket-outlets have an additional pilot contact. rated current: with 16A, 32A, 63A and 125A values (low voltage) with 16A and 32A (extra-low voltage). rated insulation voltage: - 690V for low voltage plugs and socket-outlets - 50V for extra-low voltage plugs and socket-outlets minimum surface insulation distance: 10 mm (EN 60309-1) minimum air insulation distance: 8 mm (for rated operating voltages higher than 500V) breaking capacity: 1.25 times greater than the rated current value (test performed at a voltage of 1.1 times the operating voltage). 11PLUSO plugs and socket-outlets for industrial purposes Composition of the part No.: e.g. PEW 125 12 3 PP (low voltage) article series rated current in amperes earthing contact position in hours number of poles + earth design of plug or socket PE (IP44) and PEW (IP67) socket-outlets and couplers low voltage over 50V up to 690V wall-mounting socket-outlets couplers straight flush-mounting inclined flush-mounting socket-outlets socket-outlets IP67 IP44 PE...PP PEW...PP PE...PQ PEW...PQ PE...PI PEW...PI PE...PV PEW...PV page 15 page 17 page 19 page 21 page 14 page 16 page 18 page 20 16A 16A 16A 16A 16A 16A 16A 16A 32A 32A 32A 32A 32A 32A 32A 32A 63A 63A 63A 63A 125A 125A 125A 125A 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m PE (IP44) and PEW (IP67) plugs low voltage over 50V up to 690V wall-mounting inlets appliance inlets plugs 90 plugs IP67 IP44 PE...SM PEW...SM PE...SV PEW...SV PE...SA PEW...SA PE...SI PEW...SI page 22 page 23 page 26 page 27 page 28 page 29 page 24 page 25 16A 16A 16A 16A 16A 16A 16A 16A 32A 32A 32A 32A 32A 32A 32A 32A 63A 63A 63A 125A 125A 125A 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 2P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 3P+N+m 12 overview
