GW66446 Gewiss Switched Socket IP55 3P+E 16A 110V 4H
MPN: GW66446
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66446 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66446 is a specialized 16A interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB Range, specifically designed for 110V three-phase power requirements. This "Compact" longitudinal unit is colour-coded Yellow to indicate its 100V - 130V operating range.
A key upgrade for this model is its IP55 rating, providing superior protection against dust and water jets, making it ideal for the high-intensity environments of industrial construction sites. The unit is a "With Bottom" version, meaning it includes its own back-mounting box for immediate surface installation. The integrated mechanical interlock ensures total operator safety by preventing the switch from being turned "ON" without a plug and locking the plug in place while the circuit is live.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a standard 3-pin site plug with this socket?
No. This is a 4-pin (3P+E) socket. Standard 110V site tools usually require a 3-pin (2P+E) socket, which is the GW66445 model.
Is the mounting box included in the price?
Yes, the "With Bottom" designation means the surface-mounting back box is integrated as part of the product.
What is the benefit of IP55 over IP44?
IP55 provides a significantly better seal against fine dust and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any angle, whereas IP44 is only rated for general splashes.
Is this switch padlockable?
Yes, the interlock lever can be padlocked in both the ON and OFF positions using the Gewiss GW40422 security lock accessory for LOTO compliance.
