Rated for the weather

IP66 means the inlet is fully dust-tight and withstands powerful water jets, so it can be mounted outdoors and on exposed equipment without ingress concerns. Stainless steel springs and screws resist corrosion, and the UV-stable enclosure holds up to sustained sun exposure.

Five pins for phases plus neutral

The fifth pin provides a neutral alongside the three phases and earth. This makes the GEN3AI540 the right choice over a 4 pin inlet where a neutral is needed at the connection. The round pin pattern is the established Australian format at this rating, mating with a matching 40 Amp 5 pin round plug.

High-current capacity

At 40 Amps the GEN3AI540 sits near the top of the GEN3 5 pin round range, above the 10, 20 and 32 Amp versions. High-copper brass internals help limit heat rise under sustained current, and the unit shares its Series 56 footprint with the rest of the range for consistent fit across an installation.

Q: What do the 5 pins carry?
A: A 5 pin round three-phase inlet carries three phases, a neutral and earth. Confirm the pin arrangement against the product datasheet for your specific application.

Q: When should I choose a 5 pin inlet over a 4 pin?
A: Choose a 5 pin inlet when the connection needs a neutral as well as the three phases. A 4 pin inlet provides three phases plus earth only, with no neutral.

Q: Can the GEN3AI540 be mounted outdoors?
A: Yes. Its IP66 rating means it is dust-tight and protected against high-pressure water jets, so it is suitable for outdoor and washdown environments.
