Built for Australian Industry

This 56 Series outlet is engineered for the toughest sites, where large three-phase equipment faces moisture, dust and impact. The IP66 rating means it withstands powerful water jets and total dust ingress, making it well suited to exposed outdoor installations and washdown-prone areas. The switched design lets an operator break the circuit before a plug is inserted or withdrawn, an important safety step when working with three-phase loads at 40A.

Robust Construction

The moulded polycarbonate housing resists impact and the effects of weather over long service life, while phosphor bronze contacts maintain a dependable electrical connection. The screw terminals clamp conductors from 10 mm² through to 16 mm², matching the heavy cable sizes required for 40A circuits for a firm, low-resistance termination.

Reliable Three-Phase Connection

Configured as four round pins (three phase plus earth), the 56C440-GY suits fixed and portable three-phase equipment operating at 500V. Surface mounting simplifies installation on walls, posts and switchboards, and the wide operating temperature band of -25°C to 75°C covers the range seen across Australian sites, from cold early mornings to hot enclosed plant rooms.

Typical Applications

Because it combines switching, weatherproofing and a rugged enclosure in one unit, the 56C440-GY is a practical choice wherever heavy three-phase equipment is connected and disconnected in the field. Surface mounting keeps the outlet accessible for maintenance, and the sealed body protects the internals long after installation. Terminating to standard 10-16 mm² conductors keeps wiring tidy and compliant with the referenced AS/NZS standards.
