SQE1664FM Ilme Switched socket 16 amp 415v 4 pole IP44 (room for RCD)

Why Choose the Ilme SQE1664FM Interlocked Switched Socket?

The Ilme SQE1664FM is a 16 A interlocked switched industrial socket-outlet designed for controlled connection and isolation of three-phase equipment operating from 415 V industrial power supplies. Featuring a 4-pole, 3P+E configuration and IP44 protection, it provides a practical solution for machinery, production equipment and industrial power distribution installations.

Part of the Ilme SQE series, the SQE1664FM combines an industrial socket-outlet with a mechanically interlocked switching mechanism. The interlock coordinates operation of the switch and plug connection, helping prevent normal plug removal while the socket is switched ON and providing a controlled connection and isolation sequence for industrial equipment.

The FM configuration provides room for an RCD, allowing residual-current protection to be incorporated into the associated enclosure arrangement. With its red voltage identification for three-phase industrial supplies and four-pole configuration providing three phases plus protective earth, the SQE1664FM is well suited to fixed industrial distribution points where switching, connection and provision for additional circuit protection are required.

Controlled Three-Phase Power with Provision for RCD Protection

Interlocked switched socket-outlets combine an industrial power connection with a switching mechanism that coordinates the electrical and mechanical operating sequence. This helps ensure that equipment is connected, energised, isolated and disconnected in a controlled manner, making interlocked sockets particularly useful at fixed machine and industrial distribution points.

The Ilme SQE1664FM combines this functionality with a 16 A, 415 V AC, 3P+E socket and an enclosure arrangement providing room for an RCD. This allows installers to create an industrial connection point where local switching and plug connection can be combined with residual-current protection selected to meet the requirements of the installation.

Typical Applications

• 415 V three-phase industrial machinery.
• Manufacturing and production equipment.
• Industrial power distribution systems.
• Machine power connection and isolation points.
• Workshop and maintenance installations.
• Distribution assemblies requiring provision for an RCD.
