GW66428 Gewiss Switched Socket IP44 3P+N+E 16A 230V 9H
MPN: GW66428
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66428 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66428 is a heavy-duty 32A interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB range. Specifically engineered for higher-load industrial applications, this unit provides a safe and reliable power interface for machinery, large power tools, and industrial heating equipment.
Like its 16A counterpart, the GW66428 features a critical mechanical interlock safety system. This system prevents the switch from being turned to "ON" unless a compatible 32A plug is inserted, and locks the plug in place while the circuit is energized, preventing dangerous disconnection under load.
Product Code: Gewiss GW66428
Key Benefits
- High Current Capacity: Rated for 32 Amps, suitable for more demanding industrial loads than standard 16A outlets.
- Maximum Operator Safety: The rotary switch handle is mechanically linked to the socket, ensuring "no-load" connection and disconnection.
- Rugged Durability: Rated at IK08 for impact resistance, with an enclosure made of high-performance, halogen-free technopolymer.
- Standardized Voltage Identification: The Blue colour-coding clearly identifies this as a 200V-250V (Single Phase) unit.
- LOTO Ready: The integrated switch can be padlocked in the "OFF" position for secure maintenance procedures.

Compatibility
The GW66428 is fully compatible with any 32A 2P+E (Blue) industrial plug compliant with IEC 60309 standards. Note that a 32A socket is physically larger than a 16A socket and will not accept 16A plugs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I plug a 16A Blue plug into this 32A socket?
No. Industrial plugs and sockets are size-coded by amperage to prevent overloading. A 32A socket (like the GW66428) is larger and will only accept a 32A 3-pin blue plug.
Is this unit suitable for 3-phase equipment?
No. The GW66428 is a 2P+E (Single Phase) unit. For 3-phase applications, you would typically require a Red 4-pin (3P+E) or 5-pin (3P+N+E) socket.
What size cable should be used with a 32A socket?
For a 32A load, you typically require a minimum cable cross-section of 4mm² or 6mm², depending on the run length and installation method, to comply with local wiring regulations.
Is the enclosure UV stabilized?
Yes, the technopolymer used in the Gewiss IB range is designed to resist atmospheric agents and UV exposure, making it suitable for sheltered outdoor installations.
