GW66450 Gewiss Switched Socket IP55 3P+N+E 16A 230V 9H
MPN: GW66450
Why Choose the Gewiss GW66450 Interlocked Socket-Outlet?
The Gewiss GW66450 is a specialized 16A interlocked socket-outlet from the Combibloc IB Compact Range. This model is designed for 230V three-phase systems with neutral, featuring a full 3P+N+E (5-pin) configuration and identified by its Blue colour-coding.
As a "With Bottom" version, it is supplied with its own back-mounting box, providing an all-in-one solution for surface mounting in industrial environments. It features an IP55 watertight rating, offering superior protection against dust and water jets compared to standard IP44 units. The mechanical interlock safety system ensures that the switch can only be turned to "ON" when a plug is inserted and prevents the plug from being withdrawn while live.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a standard UK single-phase socket?
No. While it is Blue (230V), it is a 5-pin (3P+N+E) model for specific three-phase systems. Standard UK single-phase industrial sockets are 3-pin (2P+E).
What is the advantage of the included back box?
The "With Bottom" design (GW66450) means you do not need to purchase a separate mounting enclosure; it is ready to be screwed directly to a surface and wired immediately.
Does it protect against water jets?
Yes, the IP55 rating indicates it is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it more robust than IP44-rated "splash-proof" alternatives.
Can this switch be locked for safety?
Yes, the interlock handle can be padlocked in the OFF position for secure Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedures.
