SQE3243FM Ilme Switched socket 32 amp 110v 3 pole IP44 (room for RCD)

Why Choose the ILME SQE3243FM Interlocked Switched Socket?

The ILME SQE3243FM is a robust 32 A 110 V industrial interlocked switched socket with provision for an RCD, designed for safe and reliable power distribution in industrial, construction and machinery 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 socket from being energised unless a compatible plug is correctly inserted and preventing plug withdrawal while the switch is in the ON position. The FM configuration also provides room for an RCD, allowing residual-current protection to be incorporated into the installation where required.

With a rated current of 32 A, a nominal voltage of 110 V AC and a 2P+E three-pole configuration, the SQE3243FM is suitable for higher-current 110 V industrial and site equipment. Its IP44 protection rating provides protection against solid objects and splashing water, making it a practical solution for workshops, construction environments, production equipment and industrial power distribution systems.

Safe 110 V Industrial Power Distribution with Provision for RCD Protection

Interlocked switched sockets such as the ILME SQE3243FM 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 The interlock helps prevent the connected plug from being withdrawn while the outlet is energised, reducing the risks associated with accidental disconnection under load and providing controlled local isolation for connected equipment.

The 32 A rating makes the SQE3243FM suitable for higher-current 110 V equipment, while the additional space for an RCD allows residual-current protection to be incorporated alongside the socket. This combination makes it particularly useful for industrial and construction power distribution systems where safe connection, isolation and provision for additional circuit protection are required.

Typical Applications

• 110 V industrial power distribution systems.
• Construction sites and temporary power systems.
• Higher-current 110 V tools and equipment.
• Industrial workshops and maintenance facilities.
• Machinery and production equipment power supplies.
• Factory and manufacturing electrical installations.
• Electrical distribution systems requiring provision for RCD protection.
• OEM machinery and fixed industrial installations.
