GW66429 Gewiss Switched Socket IP44 2P+E 16A 400V 9H
MPN: GW66429
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66429 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66429 is a specialized 16A interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB range, designed for three-phase electrical systems. Unlike the standard blue single-phase units, the GW66429 is colour-coded Red to indicate its 380V - 415V rating.
This unit features a 3P+E (3-Pole + Earth) configuration, making it essential for industrial machinery, motors, and commercial kitchen equipment that requires a three-phase supply without a neutral wire. The integrated mechanical interlock ensures the socket cannot be energized unless a plug is inserted, providing a critical layer of safety for high-voltage environments.
Product Code: Gewiss GW66429
Key Benefits
- Three-Phase Safety: Mechanical interlock prevents "hot" plugging and unplugging, reducing the risk of three-phase arcing.
- Red Colour Coding: Instant visual identification for 400V systems as per IEC 60309 standards.
- Space-Saving Combibloc Design: Vertical footprint is ideal for compact power distribution hubs and pillars.
- High Impact & Heat Resistance: IK08 impact rating and 850°C Glow Wire Test rating for active components.
- Environmental Protection: IP44 splash-proof rating ensures reliability in damp or dusty industrial settings.

Compatibility
The GW66429 is compatible with 16A 4-pin (3P+E) Red industrial plugs. Please note that this unit does not have a neutral connection; if your equipment requires 400V with a neutral (5-pin), you would require the 3P+N+E variant instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this socket provide a Neutral connection?
No. The GW66429 is a 3P+E (4-pin) configuration. It provides three phases and an earth. If your machine requires a neutral (5-pin plug), this unit will not be compatible.
What is the difference between this and the Blue Gewiss sockets?
Blue sockets (like GW66427) are for 230V single-phase power. The Red GW66429 is for 400V three-phase power. They are physically different sizes and pin layouts to prevent accidental cross-connection.
Can the switch be locked for safety during maintenance?
Yes. The rotary handle can be padlocked in the OFF position, meeting Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) requirements for industrial safety.
Is this socket suitable for a 16A motor starter?
Yes, it is frequently used to provide power to three-phase motors and workshop machinery where a local, interlocked disconnect is required.
