Combination Switched Socket IP66 | 1-16 Gang | 16A-63A | Outdoor Waterproof
Outdoor Waterproof Switch-Combination Switched Socket
KRIPAL manufactures combination switched socket outlets in the 56CV series for industrial and commercial power distribution in harsh and outdoor environments. These units combine an IP66 rated socket outlet with an integral rotary isolator switch in a single weatherproof enclosure, providing a safe and convenient power connection point for portable equipment, temporary supplies and outdoor installations. Available in rated currents from 10A to 50A (and up to 63A) at 250/500V AC with various pin configurations, the 56CV series accepts standard industrial plugs and features a mechanical interlock that prevents the plug from being inserted or withdrawn while the switch is in the ON position. The enclosure is molded from UV-resistant PC/ABS engineering thermoplastic with a redesigned socket cover for improved visibility, strength and accessibility. Certified to relevant international and regional standards, KRIPAL combination switched sockets are installed in factories, construction sites, marinas, caravan parks, agricultural buildings and outdoor event venues.

Ask a QuoteCombination Switched Socket Selection for Outdoor Power Distribution
A combination switched socket outlet integrates a socket outlet with a local isolator switch in one enclosure, providing a convenient power connection point where the operator can safely connect and disconnect equipment without needing to access a remote distribution board to isolate the circuit. The mechanical interlock between the switch and the socket ensures that the plug can only be inserted or withdrawn when the switch is OFF (dead socket), eliminating the risk of connecting or disconnecting under load which would draw an arc and potentially injure the operator. The IP66 enclosure protects the socket and switch from water, dust and mechanical impact, making the unit suitable for outdoor installation without additional weather protection. This selection guide covers current rating, pole configuration, interlock safety features and installation environment.
56CV Combination Switched Socket Series Technical Specifications
Current Rating and IEC 60309 Compatibility
The 56CV series is fitted with a standard industrial socket outlet in the specified current rating and pole configuration. The current rating (10A to 50A, and up to 32A/332/432 models as per specification) determines the socket’s physical size and configuration. The pole configuration includes single-phase and three-phase options (such as 3-pin, 4-pin, and 5-pin configurations including earth). The socket’s IP rating is IP66 when the plug is fully inserted and the enclosure cover is closed, or when the redesigned socket cover automatically closes to ensure the IP rating is maintained.
Mechanical Interlock Safety System
The 56CV series mechanical interlock operates as follows: the plug can only be inserted when the switch is in the OFF position. Once the plug is fully inserted, the switch can be turned ON. When the switch is ON, the interlock prevents the plug from being withdrawn. The larger and easy-to-use latch design ensures the socket cover automatically closes to maintain the IP rating, and a padlocking option (with an 8mm padlock facility) is available for the ON/OFF switch. Optional keylock OFF functions (such as K1CV) are also available when specified.
IP66 Enclosure and Environmental Resistance
The 56CV enclosure is molded from UV-resistant PC/ABS engineering thermoplastic and is tested to IP66. The enclosure features a visible gasket to guarantee sealing, and permanent laser-engraved ratings and specifications that are durable and clearly displayed. The contoured profile and screw caps are designed to eliminate dirt and reduce dust build-up. It features a redesigned transparent socket cover for improved visibility, strength, and accessibility.
Mounting Options and Cable Entry
The 56CV series utilizes a modular system with 1 to 16 gang arrangements to satisfy all demands, featuring surface treatment that is waterproof, dustproof, UV resistant, impact resistant, and resistant to chemical corrosion. Units are installed using stainless steel screws. Cable entries and knockout positions support standard flexible or solid cable cross-sections with reliable clamping and sealing.

Outdoor Power Distribution for Events, Construction and Industrial Sites
KRIPAL 56CV series combination switched sockets provide safe, weatherproof power connection points wherever portable or temporary electrical equipment needs to be connected and disconnected in outdoor or harsh industrial environments. The integral switch and mechanical interlock ensure that connections and disconnections are always made on a dead socket, protecting the operator from arc flash and the equipment from contact erosion.
Construction Site Temporary Power Distribution
A construction site uses 56CV switched sockets (such as 3-phase and single-phase models with robust current ratings) on the site distribution board to supply power to equipment such as concrete mixers, welding machines and tower crane auxiliary supplies. The mechanical interlock ensures that construction workers connect and disconnect equipment only with the switch OFF, preventing the dangerous practice of “hot-plugging” under load. The IP66 enclosure protects the socket from rain, dust and concrete splatter, and the impact-resistant housing withstands the rough handling typical of a construction site.
Marina and Harbor Shore Power Connections
Marinas use 56CV switched sockets (such as 10A, 16A and 20A/32A options) on pontoons to provide shore power to berthed vessels for battery charging, air conditioning and galley appliances. The IP66 enclosure withstands continuous exposure to salt spray, rain and wave splash. The socket cover automatically closes to ensure the IP rating is maintained when not in use, and the switch is OFF until a vessel connects its shore power cable and the marina operator activates the supply.
Caravan Park and Campsite Hook-Up Points
Caravan parks use 56CV switched sockets at each pitch to provide the electrical hook-up for touring caravans and motorhomes. Each pitch has its own switched socket mounted on a bollard, with the switch allowing the park operator to activate the supply after the caravan’s connecting cable has been plugged in. The interlock ensures caravanners cannot accidentally disconnect under load when packing up to leave.
Industrial Plant Maintenance Power Points
Manufacturing plants install 56CV switched sockets at strategic locations to provide power for portable equipment: welding machines, pressure washers, portable conveyors and maintenance tools. The switched socket provides a safe, standardized connection point that eliminates the practice of “temporary” wiring from distribution boards for each maintenance task. The switch is turned OFF and the socket cover closed when not in use.
Outdoor Event and Festival Power Distribution
Outdoor festivals and events use 56CV switched sockets on the temporary power distribution system to supply stage lighting, sound systems and catering equipment. The interlock safety system is valued by event safety officers because it prevents stage crew from hot-plugging high-power connectors. The IP66 enclosure protects the socket from rain (events continue regardless of weather), and the impact-resistant housing withstands being knocked by flight cases and equipment dollies.
