SQE1665FM Ilme Switched socket 16 amp 415v 5 pole IP44 (room for RCD)

Why Choose the ILME SQE1665FM Interlocked Switched Socket?

The ILME SQE1665FM is a robust 16 A 415 V industrial interlocked switched socket with provision for an RCD, designed for safe and reliable three-phase power distribution in machinery, manufacturing and industrial installations. Part of the ILME SQE interlocked switched socket series, it combines an industrial socket outlet with a mechanically interlocked switch and additional enclosure space for protective equipment.

The mechanical interlocking system controls the relationship between the plug, socket and switch, helping prevent the plug from being removed while the outlet is energised. The FM configuration also provides room for an RCD, allowing residual-current protection to be incorporated into the installation while retaining a compact industrial power distribution arrangement.

With a rated current of 16 A, an operating voltage range of 380–415 V AC and a 3P+N+E five-pole configuration, the SQE1665FM is suitable for three-phase industrial equipment requiring a neutral connection. Its IP44 protection rating and red voltage-coded socket make it a practical solution for factories, workshops, production equipment and industrial distribution systems requiring provision for additional circuit protection.

Key Advantages

• Industrial interlocked switched socket with provision for RCD protection.
• 16 A current rating suitable for machinery and industrial equipment.
• 380–415 V AC operating voltage suitable for nominal 400 V and 415 V three-phase systems.

Safe Three-Phase Power Distribution with Provision for RCD Protection

Interlocked switched sockets such as the ILME SQE1665FM combine an industrial socket outlet and local switching within a mechanically linked assembly. The interlock helps prevent the connected plug from being withdrawn while the outlet is energised, providing controlled connection and isolation for three-phase industrial equipment.

The five-pole 3P+N+E configuration provides three phase conductors, neutral and protective earth, making the SQE1665FM suitable for machinery and equipment requiring both three-phase and neutral supplies. Its additional space for an RCD enables residual-current protection to be incorporated alongside the socket, providing a versatile solution for industrial electrical distribution.

Typical Applications

• 400 V and 415 V three-phase industrial power distribution.
• Industrial machinery requiring a neutral connection.
• Factory and manufacturing electrical systems.
• Processing and packaging machinery.
• Industrial workshops and maintenance facilities.
• Production equipment and automated machinery.
• Electrical distribution systems requiring provision for RCD protection.
• OEM machinery and fixed industrial installations.
