Construction and design features

The HSP1P is designed to minimise the risk of incorrect operation and to ensure operational reliability in demanding environments.

  • 1
    Voltage-coded colour scheme

    Sockets and plugs are colour coded in accordance with IEC 60309, allowing the voltage level to be identified at a glance. This significantly reduces the risk of incorrect connection.

  • 2
    Mechanical interlock

    An integrated mechanical interlock prevents the plug from being disconnected while the circuit is live. This eliminates the risk of arcing when disconnecting under load.

  • 3
    Integrated earth connection

    The earth connection is made before the phase contacts close and broken last. This ensures continuous protection against electric shock throughout the entire connection process.

  • 4
    Lockable socket

    The socket can be padlocked in the open position, preventing unauthorised re-energisation. Relevant for installations with lockout/tagout procedures.

  • 5
    BMC fibreglass enclosure

    The enclosure is made of BMC fibreglass (Bulk Moulding Compound). The material is antistatic, mechanically robust and corrosion resistant under prolonged exposure to chemicals and UV radiation.

About the product designation: This series is referred to on this page as HSP1P, which corresponds to the certificate name (TÜV CY 25 ATEX 0207475 X). In HARDO's catalogue and on order codes, the two components appear as HS1PW (socket/outlet) and HP1P (plug) respectively. Contact us for the correct order code for your specific requirements.
