National Light Sources | 5 Pin 32Amp Switched Socket Outlet | IP66 Earth Leakage Protected
The NLS 66CV532RCD is a 5 pin 32 amp industrial switched socket outlet rated 500V AC, with RCD earth leakage protection and an IP66 weatherproof rating. Certified to AS/NZS 3123 and designed for domestic and commercial installations in fixed or exposed locations.
Industrial job sites and workshops commonly require switchable RCD-protected outlets for high-demand power tools and temporary installations. The 66CV532RCD combines the outlet and earth leakage protection in one compact unit, cutting installation time and material costs compared to wiring separate components on the board. Three-phase supply at 32 amps suits larger power tools and equipment where single-phase outlets fall short. The IP66 rating means the outlet stands up to splash zones and outdoor wet areas without losing function.
Sparks and contractors favour NLS industrial outlets for the straightforward value they deliver. The 66CV532RCD costs under half what rival brands charge for the same certification and protection. Installation involves a simple conduit entry with no tool-specific adjustments, and the locking rotary switch and padlock-ready cover slots add security on multi-user sites. The unit is interchangeable with existing 5 pin round pin outlets, so retrofit jobs don't demand board rewiring or custom adapters.
Features
- 5 round pin 32 amp outlet — rated 500V AC three-phase supply, suitable for high-load power tools, compressors, and workshop machinery.
- RCD Type A earth leakage protection — combined 2 pole 40 amp RCD breaker detects fault current and isolates the outlet automatically, meeting safety standards for personnel and equipment.
- IP66 weatherproof rating — fully sealed design blocks water and dust ingress, suitable for outdoor sheds, wet areas, and exposed job sites.
- Locking rotary switch — padlock facility on both the switch and the transparent RCD cover for site security and accidental disconnection prevention.
- Large cable terminals with internal wiring — reduces installation time and simplifies termination compared to external wiring configurations.
- Compact switched combination unit — eliminates the need for separate switchboard-mounted RCD modules and downstream wiring, freeing up board space.
- Certified to AS/NZS 3123 and AS/NZS 3112 — complies with Australian and New Zealand electrical standards for industrial outlets and general safety requirements.
- Under half the cost of major brands — delivers identical protection and functionality to premium outlets at a fraction of the price, improving job margins.
- Impact-resistant plastic construction — outer body resists damage from impacts, drops, and site wear without compromising long-term durability.
- Multiple conduit entries — 2 x 25mm and 2 x 32mm threaded conduit entries accommodate different conduit sizes and installation configurations.
- Three-phase compatible — rated for 500V AC three-phase supply, making it suitable for industrial and high-power applications where single-phase is insufficient.
- Not suitable for fixed permanent wiring — designed as a portable or temporary installation outlet, not as a permanent site outlet for ongoing supply points.
Where to use
- Workshop and shed power distribution — the 66CV532RCD handles multiple high-demand tools running simultaneously on three-phase supply without risk of nuisance tripping.
- Job site temporary installations — locking switch and waterproof housing make the outlet secure and reliable on multi-trade sites where tools move between locations.
- Outdoor and exposed installations — IP66 rating allows the 66CV532RCD to be mounted in wet areas, under eaves, and on external walls without degradation.
- Industrial equipment and compressor power — 32 amp capacity and three-phase rating support large machinery and high-inrush-current equipment that single-phase outlets cannot handle.
- Electrical contractors on new builds and renovations — the low cost allows electrical contractors to specify RCD protection at multiple points without inflating project overheads.
- Portable power supply setups — the rotary switch and locking cover are ideal for caravan parks, events, and temporary installations where the outlet needs operator control and weatherproofing.
The NLS 66CV532RCD is not designed for fixed permanent installation as a main switchboard outlet or as part of a hardwired distribution system. It is suitable only for portable, temporary, or semi-permanent installations where the outlet can be accessed and serviced by qualified personnel.
