Thump, we hit the floor when we found out BigClive of the electrical channel Bigclivedotcom announces his favourite industrial connector is a Ceeform. We decided to go one stage further and compare the new XCEE ceeform plug from Lewden Palazzoli with the cheapest we could find.
A good electrician knows choosing a better product can save time-on-site and create a more reliable electrical installation.
How to fit a plug (or not )
In this video, Gary Hayers (GSH Electrical) takes on Joe Robinson. Can speedy Gaz fit the cheapest industrial connector faster than Joe with the latest design from Lewden Palazzoli.
Both connectors are made to IEC 60309 rated at 16A 230v - one is IP66 IP67 and the other is IP44 rated.
This type of connector is used extensively in applications from building sites to food factories.
Officially they are IEC 60309-2 1999 "plugs, socket-outlets and couplers for industrial purposes" - but in real life, you may know them by the manufacturer trade name - Commando sockets are the most common term in the UK from the range manufactured by MK. Mennekes, Marechal, Bals and Ceeform are also common manufacturer terms.
You have recognised them as caravan hook up plugs or the ones fitted to the catering equipment in McDonalds. Used around the world, in Germany, they are also known as a caravan plug or Wohnwagenstecker.
