Gewiss GW60042H IEC 309 Plug 32A 3P+N+E IP66/IP67/IP68/IP69

GW60042H is a red straight plug from the Gewiss IEC 309 HP range for 32 A, 3P+N+E (five-pole) circuits at 380-415 V, 50/60 Hz. It has screw terminals, a 6 h earth position and a protection rating of IP66/IP67/IP68/IP69, which places it among the most sealed industrial plugs in the Gewiss portfolio.

A fully sealed 32 A industrial plug

Gewiss describes the HP range as plugs and socket-outlets compliant with IEC 60309-1 and IEC 60309-2 (EN 60309-1 and EN 60309-2), with mobile plugs, mobile sockets and recessed sockets from 16 to 125 A, rated up to IP66/IP67/IP68/IP69. Technopolymers and wall thickness are chosen for resistance to mechanical and chemical agents, and sleeves and pins are nickel-plated against corrosion, oxidation and abrasion.

The external metal parts of the HP plugs are stainless steel; only the threaded inserts used for the body-grip coupling of the 63-125 A versions are brass. For a 32 A five-pole plug that means a body that can be washed down and a contact system that keeps its surface in damp or salty air.

Selection and ordering guide

The order code tells you the pairing: this is the plug, 3P+N+E, 32 A, 6 h, screw wiring. The matching mobile socket-outlet (connector) in the same electrical rating is a separate Gewiss item (GW62042H in the Gewiss list). Make sure the pole count, current, voltage band and reference position match on both sides; a 3P+E plug will not mate with a 3P+N+E connector.

Derived value (not printed in the datasheet): at 415 V three-phase, 32 A corresponds to about 23 kVA of apparent power (square root of 3 x 415 V x 32 A); at 380 V it is about 21 kVA.

Installation and operation notes

Use cable whose outer diameter falls inside the 9.2-19.9 mm clamp range and whose conductors fit the 2.5-6 mm2 flexible terminal capacity.

The IP66-IP69 figures apply to the correctly assembled plug in a correctly mated coupling; tighten the cable clamp and coupling ring fully and keep the cable seal undamaged.

Keep the operating environment between -25 and +55 C as printed; for sun-exposed Gulf installations allow for solar heating of the plug body.

Ordering tip: Gewiss prints both the electrocod (2230 for this plug) and the order code in its datasheets; when you compare quotations from different sources, match the full code GW60042H including the H suffix, because the Gewiss list shows several plugs with the same current and pole count but different IP degree, wiring type (screw or fast wiring) or voltage band.

Applications in Oman and the GCC

IP69-rated plugs suit wash-down areas: food and beverage plants, desalination and water-treatment sites, shipyards and quay-side supply points, and temporary power on oil and gas fabrication yards where equipment is hosed down or exposed to dust and salt-laden air.

The five-pole configuration supports three-phase loads with neutral, for example portable distribution boards, welding cabinets, concrete vibrators and mobile lighting towers fed from 380-415 V supplies.

Installation and selection notes

GW60042H is a five-pole 32 A plug, so it must be paired with a matching 3P+N+E, 380-415 V socket at the same 6 h earth position, otherwise the plug will not mate. Wire it with cable of a suitable diameter and tighten the cable gland properly, because the high IP rating depends on a correctly closed cable entry. Inspect the pins and sleeves at regular intervals and replace any plug that shows cracks or heat marks.
