        NLS | Flex and Socket Lead 1.2m 10A 250V | 3 Pin Round Earth

        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.

        Features

        • 3 pin round earth socket — the earth aperture is round rather than flat, so only a matching round earth plug top will enter it.
        • 10A 250V rating — sized for equipment drawing up to 10 amps from a dedicated 250 volt circuit.
        • 3 core 1.0mm2 flex — active, neutral and earth conductors sized to carry the full rated current of the lead.
        • 1.2 metre finished length — short enough to sit tidily in a ceiling space without excess cord to coil and cable tie.
        • Grey sheath — the NLS 40077 is supplied in grey, consistent with the rest of the NLS flex and socket range.
        • Factory moulded socket — the socket body is moulded to the cable, so there is no socket termination to make on site.
        • Unterminated supply end — the far end lands at a ceiling rose, junction box or fixed wiring point.
        • Will not accept a flat earth plug — the 40077 mates only with round earth plug tops, so it cannot serve as a general purpose outlet.
        • Fine stranded conductors — flexible cord construction takes repeated handling and coiling without the conductor fatigue of solid cable.
        • Special purpose circuit keying — the round earth arrangement is used for controlled lighting, timed exhaust fans and point of sale equipment.
        • Carton of 50 — the bulk carton quantity supports full floor or whole site rollouts on commercial fit-outs.
        • One year warranty — NLS covers the 40077 for one year domestic and one year commercial use from the invoice date.

        Where to use

        • Commercial lighting fit-outs — a ceiling mounted plug in point for luminaires running on a controlled or automated circuit.
        • Hotel and motel lamp circuits — key card or master switched lighting where guest appliances must stay off the controlled supply.
        • Retail point of sale counters — the NLS 40077 feeds a keyed outlet for terminals kept separate from general retail load.
        • Timed and interlocked exhaust fans — amenities and bathroom fans wired to a run on timer or interlocked with another system.
        • Dimmed and automated lighting — luminaires on building automation, timed or dimmed circuits that general appliances must not reach.
        • Externally controlled tariff circuits — equipment fed from a supply the network switches on and off.
        • Refurbishments and lamp changes — the 40077 replaces a damaged socket lead where a round earth arrangement is already installed.

        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.

        (40077)

        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.

        NLS warrants the lead for one year domestic use and one year commercial use, running from the invoice date. The warranty method is return to Sparky Direct rather than an in home claim. Keep the invoice as proof of purchase.
