SQE32645FM Ilme Switched socket 32 amp 415v 4 pole IP55 (room for RCD)

Why Choose the ILME SQE3264.5FM Interlocked Switched Socket?

The ILME SQE3264.5FM is a robust 32 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 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, an operating voltage range of 380–415 V AC and a 3P+E four-pole configuration, the SQE3264.5FM is suitable for higher-current three-phase industrial equipment that does not require a neutral connection. Its IP55 protection rating, red voltage-coded socket and provision for additional circuit protection make it a practical solution for factories, workshops, production machinery and industrial distribution systems.

Key Advantages

• Industrial interlocked switched socket with provision for RCD protection.
• 32 A current rating suitable for higher-current 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 SQE3264.5FM combine an industrial socket outlet and local switching within a mechanically linked assembly. The interlock coordinates operation of the plug and switch, helping prevent the connected plug from being withdrawn while the outlet remains energised and reducing the risks associated with accidental disconnection under load.

The 32 A rating makes the SQE3264.5FM suitable for higher-current three-phase machinery and production equipment. Its 3P+E configuration provides three phase conductors and protective earth, while the additional space for an RCD allows residual-current protection to be incorporated alongside the switched socket for a versatile industrial power distribution solution.

Typical Applications

• 400 V and 415 V three-phase industrial power distribution.
• Industrial machinery and production equipment.
• Three-phase motors, pumps and processing equipment.
• Factory and manufacturing electrical systems.
• Industrial workshops and maintenance facilities.
• Packaging and material handling machinery.
• Electrical distribution systems requiring provision for RCD protection.
• OEM machinery and fixed industrial installations.
