Industrial Plug and Socket Uses, Applications, Connections

Industrial Plug and Sockets are widely used in indoor and outdoor for electrical power distribution, provide power supply to large machines. They are very reliable and easy to connect. There are various types of industrial plugs and sockets are available.
According to the way of installation, there are three types of industrial plug and socket available which are Mobile type, Exposed installation, Hidden Installation.
According to interlock configuration, there are three types of industrial plug and socket available which are non-interlock type, mechanical interlock type, electrical interlock type.

Industrial Plug Pins Identification

Here, you can see a three-phase industrial plug is shown in the below picture. This plug has a total of five pins - Earth, Neutral, Line 1(R), Line 2(Y), Line 3(B).

If you open that pins from its cover then you can see its pin identification because its backside identification is written.
