Explosion-proof plugs and sockets

Sockets for hazardous areas with RCD/MCB protection

Crouse-Hinds IEC 60309 series receptacles with RCD/MCB protection provide local, individual protection for connected equipment in hazardous and industrial environments.

With a tripping current of 10-500 mA, IEC 60309 sockets protect against serious personal injury due to electric shock in the event of a fault in the connected equipment.

Thanks to built-in RCD/MCB sockets, individual work zones can be isolated during maintenance work. In the event of a fault, only the affected zone is disconnected, while all other zones remain operational. Individual zones can be manually disconnected and protected from accidental reconnection with a padlock.
