Industrial sockets mainly refer to sockets used in human industrial production, which are significantly different from sockets used in general households. So, what are the skills for choosing industrial sockets?

What are the skills for choosing industrial sockets?

1. Look at the appearance: good industrial sockets have uniform color and no bumps. Due to the special use environment of industrial sockets, the technology is often high. There will be no defects such as cracks, bubbles, deformation, etc. on the surface of the socket. And it will look very textured, allowing you to intuitively feel the high hardness and flame retardancy of this socket.

2. Hand shaking: You can shake the socket by hand when buying. A good socket is tightly embedded in it and there will be no sound.

3. Weigh it with your hand: The copper in a good socket is heavier. Weigh the socket by hand. If it feels very light, the use of this socket material is questionable.

4. Identify the brand: a good brand, whose products have passed the relevant national testing standards, can better guarantee the safety of users in terms of selection.

What is the difference between industrial sockets and civilian sockets?

1. From the material analysis, industrial sockets are made of polycarbonate alloy, which is often different from ordinary plastic sockets for civilian use.

2. In terms of power, there is a difference between industrial electricity and civilian electricity, so the load power of industrial sockets will be much higher than that of civilian sockets. Generally speaking, the load power requirement of industrial sockets is above 4000W.

3. As for the functional design of the socket, industrial sockets are also more technologically advanced than civilian sockets, with functions such as overload protection and current and voltage display.

4. In terms of service life, industrial sockets are more than 4 times that of civilian sockets.

What are the advantages of industrial sockets?

1. Safety factor

The circuit can be connected and disconnected when the total current is full or loaded, and the socket is not easy to touch the plug-in prefabricated parts, which can prevent common short-circuit faults. Only by inserting the industrial production plug into the industrial socket of the service facility can the effect of automatic sealing be achieved.

2. Convenient and fast

Industrial sockets allow customers to distinguish between different working standard voltages and different circuits under the same working standard voltage, and only if the plug and socket are compatible with electrical products, then independent industrial sockets can be used with plugs of different working standard voltages.

3. Long life

The spring structure used in industrial sockets is similar to the spring structure used in vehicle shut-off valves. It only works within a small range of elasticity determined by the spring, that is, its reduction is very small during all normal working periods. Even the spring of the vehicle shut-off valve under higher pressure can be used for decades during a cycle operation, so the service life of industrial sockets is very long.

4. Self-cleaning effect

At present, most industrial sockets have self-cleaning contacts, which can automatically remove garbage from various surfaces on the socket. When two points of contact bite, a certain difference will be left in the middle. During the whole process, the inner shell of the socket has a distinctive groove, which allows the plug to rotate until the two points of contact are neatly aligned and remove the waste remaining on the contact surface. Because the socket has such a self-cleaning effect, it can be used for close and long periods of time in geographical environments such as dust and air pollution.

5. Safety factor grid

Most industrial sockets are equipped with a safety factor grid. When the plug is unplugged, the grid will automatically close the shielded energized point for contact. This ensures the clarity of the point contact and prevents people from accidentally touching the point contact. Under application conditions, only point-compatible industrial plugs can open the safety factor grid (greatly improving safety performance).
