Transco OL10 Explorer Double Pole Caravan Power Outlet 10A IP54 White

Description

Double Pole Power Out. Weatherproof. Patented. Award Winning.

The Transco Explorer OL10 is an IP54 rated double pole 10A weatherproof power outlet socket — purpose-built for installation inside caravans, motorhomes, and recreational vehicles where a mains power outlet is needed in an exposed or wet-area location within the vehicle. Using the same patented inlet membrane technology as the award-winning Neptune range, the OL10 achieves IP54 ingress protection with a plug inserted. Double pole switching meets the mandatory requirement for all power outlets in mobile and dynamic structures under Australian wiring rules. Electrical white, recess mounted, sold individually.

Why the OL10 Is the Right Power Outlet for Caravan and RV Installations

Australian wiring rules require double pole switching on all power outlets installed in caravans, motorhomes, food trucks, site sheds, and other mobile or dynamic structures — meaning both the active and neutral conductors must be isolated when the outlet is switched off. The OL10 delivers that requirement in a weatherproof format, making it the correct specification for outlet positions inside these structures regardless of whether the location is considered wet or dry. The patented inlet membrane technology provides IP54 protection with a plug inserted — the same technology that earned the Transco Neptune range its Australian Good Design Award.

The difference between the OL10 outlet and the IL10 inlet is fundamental — the IL10 is the connection point on the exterior of the vehicle where the mains extension lead plugs in, while the OL10 is the socket inside the vehicle where appliances are connected. Both are required in a complete caravan or motorhome 240V electrical installation, and both use the same Explorer series recess mount format with identical dimensions (W80 x L110 x D52mm) and mounting centres (70 x 54mm), making installation planning and cutout preparation consistent across both components.

The OL10 is the 10A white variant in the Transco Explorer power outlet range. Also available in 15A (OL15), 10A black (OL10/B), and 15A black (OL15/B) for installations requiring a higher amp rating or a coordinated black finish. The 10A rating matches the standard caravan park supply and covers the majority of caravan appliance loads.

Q: What is the difference between the OL10 outlet and the IL10 inlet?
A: The IL10 is the power inlet — it mounts on the exterior of the caravan and is where the mains extension lead from the caravan park plugs in. The OL10 is the power outlet — it mounts inside the caravan and is where appliances plug in. Both are required in a complete caravan 240V electrical installation and share the same Explorer series format and dimensions.

Q: Why does the OL10 caravan power outlet use double pole switching?
A: Australian wiring rules require double pole switching on all power outlets in caravans, motorhomes, and other mobile structures. Double pole switching isolates both the active and neutral conductors simultaneously when the outlet is switched off, providing safe isolation of connected appliances from the mains supply in mobile installations where power is regularly connected and disconnected.

Q: What IP rating does the Transco OL10 carry and how is it achieved?
A: The OL10 carries an IP54 rating with a plug inserted, achieved using the same patented polychloroprene inlet membrane technology as the Transco Neptune range. This provides dust protection and splash resistance from any direction — making it suitable for wet-area locations inside caravans and motorhomes such as bathrooms, kitchens, and external wall positions.
