NIPHAM plugs & sockets

Apparently now known as 'C4A' (flange socket) 'C4S' (Plug) 'C4R' (Flange plug) and 'C4J' (Cable socket) and rated only at a measly

But that's only design current. Factor in the safe overload and you will be good for 300 amp.

From my old trunking trick days a threpney bit behind the cold start should get you the extra amps :-)

Andrew,

I have a three phase RED bodied plug which was redundant from a temp set up we used at work a couple of years ago - I will have a look this weekend and send you a e mail Monday to confirm current rating (if indicated) and or size if you are still interested.

Best regards

Dave, yes please very much so -

Basically I'm running o/p from a big genny to a fixed point so really need chassis socket -> Cable plug -> cable socket -> chassis plug at

AWEM

Do they have to be Niphan?

What's the biggest size of Euro type plug & socket? I'd expect them to be a bit cheaper if there's a suitable size.

question

Tim,

It's equipped with a Niphan o/p at the moment, but looking at the price of mating bits then the answer is almost certainly not !!!!!!

AWEM

Better to convert it to BS4343 standard connectors, a 125A three-phase plug and socket will still make your eyes water, but a bit cheaper than LPA.

We have them in our factory for the testing outlet, we use a 4-pin with 125A MCB and RCD backing it up off the main switchboard.

No spares unfortunately :-((

three-phase plug and

Yes Peter I suspect that will be the way to go, or I may hard wire it

AWEM

The problem is that once you get over 63A, the odds and sods tend to die away as they are too expensive to have kicking around.

Sort of people to ask around are the sparks that do exhibitions and hire plant etc., they have them for temporary hooks-ups.
