: The STANDARD of the aluminium alloy used by Cortem has passed the tests required by standards
EN60068-2-30 (hot-humid cycles) and EN60068-2-11 (salt fog test)
Safety system: The external control lever and mechanically interlocked safety system prevents the electrical circuit
from closing if the plug has not been correctly inserted in its explosion-proof housing, and prevents
extraction if the automatic circuit breaker has not be opened previously. These sockets can be used in
any environment with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and are manufactured so they cannot be
used with industrial type plugs.
