Transco OL15/B Explorer Double Pole Caravan Power Outlet 15A IP54 Black

Description

15 Amp Double Pole Power Out. Weatherproof. Patented. Finished in Black.

The Transco Explorer OL15/B is an IP54 rated double pole 15A weatherproof power outlet socket in black — purpose-built for installation inside caravans, motorhomes, and recreational vehicles where a higher-amperage mains power outlet is needed with a dark finish specification. Using the same patented inlet membrane technology as the award-winning Neptune range, the OL15/B 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. Recess mounted, sold individually.

Where the OL15/B Is the Right Specification for Dark-Finish High-Draw Caravan Installations

The OL15/B is the top-specification option in the Transco Explorer power outlet range — combining the 15A rating for high-draw circuit positions with a black finish for coordinated dark-finish vehicle interiors. Australian wiring rules require double pole switching on all power outlets in mobile structures, and the OL15/B meets that requirement across the 15A load range with the same patented IP54 membrane protection as the rest of the Explorer series. It is the correct outlet specification for dedicated high-draw circuits — air conditioning, electric hot water, and similar — in dark-finish caravan and motorhome installations.

The OL15/B is the natural pairing for the IL15/B black power inlet — where the vehicle uses a black fitting scheme and is connected to a 15A site supply via the IL15/B inlet, the OL15/B outlets provide the correct 15A rated black internal socket positions for the high-draw circuits fed from that supply. All four Explorer series variants (OL10, OL10/B, OL15, OL15/B) share identical dimensions (W80 x L110 x D52mm) and mounting centres (70 x 54mm), allowing any combination to be used in the same installation with a consistent cutout and mounting pattern.

The OL15/B is the 15A black variant — the highest specification option in the Explorer outlet range. Also available in white 10A (OL10), black 10A (OL10/B), and white 15A (OL15). Confirm the circuit design and site supply rating with the installing electrician before specifying 15A outlets.

Q: What is the difference between the OL15 and the OL15/B?
A: The OL15 and OL15/B are identical in electrical specification, IP rating, dimensions, and mounting centres. Both are rated at 15A, 240V AC, double pole, IP54, and use the same patented inlet membrane and recess mount format. The only difference is the finish: the OL15 is electrical white and the OL15/B is black.

Q: Which caravan power inlet should be paired with the OL15/B outlet?
A: For a consistent 15A black installation, the OL15/B outlet should be paired with the IL15/B black power inlet on the vehicle exterior. Both are rated at 15A, share the same Explorer series format and dimensions, and present a coordinated black finish across the complete inlet-to-outlet installation.

Q: Why does the OL15/B 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 regardless of load size or finish colour.
