Learn more by watching our CLIPSAL EY56C520 | 5 Pin 20Amp Switched Socket Outlet IP66 | Easy56 video.
The Clipsal EY56C520 is an Easy56 switched socket outlet rated 20A at 500V AC, with a 5 pin tubular outlet in a 3P + N + E configuration. The polycarbonate body is IP66 rated conforming to AS 60529 and surface mounted, with a rotary knob switch that accepts two 8mm padlocks. The EY56C520 complies with AS/NZS 3123 and AS/NZS 3133, measuring 203 x 101 x 101mm at a net weight of 0.82kg.
Three phase plant in a shed, wash bay or yard needs an outlet that survives the environment and switches off at the point of use. Isolating that plant for maintenance requires locking the switch off, not simply disconnecting the lead. The EY56C520 addresses both requirements, because the rotary handle accepts two 8mm padlocks in the off position. IP66 protection conforming to AS 60529 then handles hose-down and dust rather than sheltered positions alone.
The Easy56 line delivers this configuration at a cost that matters when an installation requires several outlets simultaneously. The EY56C520 arrives as a complete surface-mounted station, so no separate enclosure or mechanism requires assembly on the bench. Screw terminals accepting 1 to 16mm2 then cover the cable sizes a 20A three phase circuit runs. Three threaded entries, 2 x M25 and 1 x M32, accommodate top or bottom entry without drilling the housing.
The datasheet lists protection type as without protection, so overcurrent and earth leakage protection sit upstream in the board rather than inside the outlet. The rating covers 20A at 500V AC across a 5 pin outlet, so a plug of a different pin configuration or current rating will not engage. IP66 covers dust and water jets but not immersion, and the published ambient range runs minus 25 to 75 degrees Celsius.

The Schneider Electric datasheet lists AS/NZS 3123 and AS/NZS 3133, with IP66 protection conforming to AS 60529. The outlet standard is Australian and New Zealand. Compliance of the installation itself rests with the licensed electrician on site.
Five tubular pins arranged as 3P + N + E, meaning three phases plus neutral and earth. That suits three phase plant requiring a neutral. A plug with a different pin count or current rating will not engage the outlet.
The rotary handle accepts two 8mm padlocks in the off position. That lets the outlet serve as a lockable isolation point during plant maintenance, subject to the isolation procedure applying at the site.
Screw terminals accept cable cross sections from 1 to 16mm2. The enclosure has three threaded entries, two M25 and one M32. The entry method chosen needs to preserve the IP66 seal, which the licensed installer confirms.
The datasheet lists protection type as without protection, so there is no integral circuit breaker or residual current device. Overcurrent and earth leakage protection for the circuit sit upstream in the switchboard.
A polycarbonate body in grey with brass pins and a dark grey rotary handle. The datasheet publishes an ambient air temperature range of minus 25 to 75 degrees Celsius for both operation and storage.
Schneider Electric states a contractual warranty of 18 months, running from the invoice date. The method is a Clipsal in-home warranty, so Clipsal handles the claim directly and the outlet does not need uninstalling or returning. Warranty is void where installation has not been carried out by a licensed electrician.
