Plugs and sockets deliver safe power in demanding environments

Legrand SA’s P17 Tempra Pro range of industrial plugs and sockets has been specially designed for safe and reliable use in demanding environments, including data centres, food preparation areas, industrial manufacturing facilities and outdoor installations, like car wash facilities.

Many industries rely on quality electrical fittings that are easy to install and safe to use indoors and outdoors and which provide convenient and reliable access to plug points required in hot, damp, busy, risky areas. For contractors, intuitive features of this range simplify installation and maintenance, even in tight spaces, while operators benefit from consistent safety and reliability.

Notable features of P17 Tempra Pro series include watertightness, corrosion resistance, impact strength and temperature endurance, to ensure high performance in challenging areas. These robust devices – available from Legrand in capacities from 16 A to 125 A – comply with IEC 60309 standards and fire safety requirements for self-extinguishing materials.

Mobile and panel-mounting sockets for indoor and outdoor use have an IP44 protection rating, safeguarding against the ingress of water. For harsher conditions, Legrand specialists recommend IP66/67/69 units that can withstand temporary immersion in water during heavy rainfall or flooding. Straight plugs with screw connections are offered from 16 A to 125 A, supporting voltages of 100 to 500 V~ at 50/60 Hz.

Compact dimensions and a single screw per terminal simplify wiring, even in confined areas. A removable terminal cover on panel sockets, clear cable-stripping markings, the option of using ferruled cables and a quick opening and closing system improve installation efficiency. Mobile products are supplied assembled and unlocked, ready for immediate use.

Durability is enhanced through polyamide 6 housings, anti-corrosion treated screws and Stainless Steel springs for sprocket covers. The design withstands chemical exposure and harsh environmental conditions. IP44 models are manufactured from halogen-free recyclable materials, supporting Legrand’s sustainability goals.

The P17 Tempra Pro range is fully compatible with Legrand’s existing industrial socket systems and can be configured to meet specific site requirements. Specially designed accessories include surface and panel mounting sockets, mobile sockets with cable glands, adaptors, appliance inlets and blanking caps. Legrand also manufactures distribution trunking systems and thermal magnetic circuit breakers, providing a comprehensive industrial power portfolio.

The range is distributed nationally through Legrand’s South African network, supported by technical advisory services to assist specifiers and contractors in selecting the correct configuration for each project.

Legrand’s P17 Tempra Pro industrial plugs and sockets have been developed for safe and reliable use in many environments, including shopping centres, hospitals, office buildings and data centres, the food and beverage sector, hospitality and leisure, as well as transport facilities and general industry.
