It is my opinion that the industrial plug and socket refered to in IEC 950 is more the pin and sleeve variety defined by IEC 309. I don't think the twist lock connectors are allowable for European applications. I could be wrong however. _______________________________________________________________________________ To: emc-p...@ieee.org; t...@superlink.net From: Eric Petitpierre on Tue, May 28, 1996 12:10 PM Subject: Re: Industrial Plug and Socket-outlet RFC Header:Received: by smtpgw.sim.es.com with SMTP;28 May 1996 12:05:08 -0600 Received: by mail.ieee.org (8.7.3/8.7.3) id MAA25563 for emc-pstc-list; Tue, 28 May 1996 12:47:22 -0400 (EDT) List-Post: emc-pstc@listserv.ieee.org Date: Tue, 28 May 96 12:42:05 EST From: "Eric Petitpierre" <er...@smtplink.pulse.com> Encoding: 30 Text Message-Id: <9604288333.aa833312...@smtplink.pulse.com> To: emc-p...@ieee.org, t...@superlink.net Subject: Re: Industrial Plug and Socket-outlet Sender: owner-emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Precedence: bulk Reply-To: "Eric Petitpierre" <er...@smtplink.pulse.com> X-Resent-To: Multiple Recipients <emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org> X-Listname: emc-pstc X-List-Description: Product Safety Tech.

Tom, The definition I've heard for this is "big & twisty". The current rating is usually 30 A or more, the plug is twisted into the socket, hence the name. Usually applies to equipment that stays in place.

One thing which is not very clear to me is the industrial plug and socket-outlet. Anyone has a definition for them, or which standard specifies it?
