The NLS 40077 is a 1.2 metre flex and socket lead fitted with a 3 pin round earth socket, rated 10A 250V. The 40077 uses 3 core 1.0mm2 flexible cord in a grey sheath, with the socket moulded onto one end of the cord. The round earth aperture accepts only a matching round earth plug, keying the outlet to a special purpose circuit.
Commercial luminaires and controlled equipment frequently sit on a circuit the building switches, times or dims automatically. Terminating every fitting directly into fixed wiring turns each later replacement into a rewiring job. A cord mounted socket reduces that connection to a plug in point instead. The round earth aperture keeps general appliances off the circuit, because a flat earth plug cannot physically enter it.
Terminating the 40077 once at the ceiling means a subsequent luminaire replacement becomes a plug swap rather than a rewiring job. The socket arrives moulded to the cord, so the only termination left on site is three conductors at the supply end. The 1.0mm2 conductors carry the full 10 amp rating without the sizing argument that accompanies thinner flexible cord. Cartons of 50 suit a whole floor rollout across a commercial installation.
The NLS 40077 will not accept a standard flat earth plug, because the flat earth pin will not enter the round aperture. Do not modify the socket or the plug to force a connection. The lead is rated to 10 amps, so it is not suitable for 15A or 20A equipment, and NLS publishes no IP rating for it.

The round earth aperture keys the outlet to a special purpose circuit. Only a matching round earth plug will enter it, and that plug will not enter a standard flat earth outlet. The incompatibility is deliberate, keeping a dedicated circuit reserved for the equipment it was installed to supply.
No standard plug will enter a round earth socket, because the flat earth pin cannot pass through the round aperture. Equipment intended for the circuit needs a lead fitted with a matching round earth plug top. Never file the pin or alter the socket to force a fit.
Connecting a flex and socket assembly to fixed wiring, a ceiling rose or a junction box is electrical work in every Australian state and territory, and must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Plugging equipment into a completed socket is not electrical work.
Three core flexible cord at 1.0mm2 per conductor, carrying active, neutral and earth. The finished lead measures 1.2 metres and is sheathed in grey. The 1.0mm2 conductor size supports the full 10 amp rating of the assembly.
The assembly is rated 10 amps at 250 volts, so equipment drawing more than 10 amps needs a higher rated socket and a matching circuit. The conductors and aperture dimensions are sized for 10 amps. Overloading the lead risks overheating at the socket body and along the cord.
Hotel and motel rooms with key card or master switched lamp circuits, retail counters running point of sale terminals, timed exhaust fans, controlled or dimmed lighting installations, and equipment on externally controlled tariff circuits. Round earth outlets are uncommon in standard residential wiring.
