Line Drain Earth

Flexible combination: They can be modularly combined to create any desired pole configuration.

High security: Locking systems prevent mismating (color- and mechanically coded).

Fail-safe: Individual poles can be easily replaced in the event of a fault.

Robustness: Suitable for harsh environments thanks to protection ratings (e.g., IP67).

Ease of maintenance: Easy access to each pole.

Multi-pole connectors (depending on storm strength) use larger cable cross-sections, which in turn results in very heavy connector solutions. Therefore, single-pole connectors are also easier to carry and plug in.
Single-pole connectors are particularly popular in the event industry because they can be plugged in quickly and easily.
They are more attractively priced than multi-pole connector solutions.

Yes, Phase 3 Powersafe connectors are compatible with Powerlock connectors.

Here’s a simple example:

Phase 3: 500A Line Drain L1 connector is compatible with a 400A Line Source L1 coupler (Lapp, ITT Cannon – ITT Veam PowerLock).
Phase 3: 800A Panel Source L3 receptacle is compatible with a 660A Line Drain L3 Powerlock connector from Lapp or ITT Cannon.

Phase 3 Powersafe connectors have a special contact system designed for higher currents. This means that if your application requires 800A, use only Phase 3 Powersafe connectors. If different connector brands are used, ensure that both connector brands are designed for your application and the required current.

Yes, if, for example, you have a Phase 3 Panel Source L1 outlet in Brown (European color code) and want to connect it to a Phase 3 Line Drain L1 plug in Red (old English color code), this is possible.

Generally, all plug connectors of the same phase are compatible with each other, regardless of the country color code.

Yes, that’s no problem. Phase 3 offers reduction sleeves as accessories for single-pole connectors with screw termination. This allows for the connection of cables with cross-sections of 95mm2, 70mm2, 50mm2, 35mm2, and even 25mm2.

Of course, bimetallic contacts are also available for this exact application.

These connectors can be connected with aluminum cables.
