The ABB 416MHS6 is a high-quality, industrial-grade socket outlet with an integrated on/off switch. It is part of ABB’s MHS (Modular Horizontal System) range, designed for durability, safety, and ease of use in demanding environments.

The model number 2CMA167818R1000 is the specific ordering code for this unit.

Detailed Product Description

1. Product Type: Socket Outlet with Switch

2. Technical Specifications:

• Poles: 3P+N+E – This is a crucial specification.

  • 3P: Three Phase lines (L1, L2, L3)

  • N: Neutral line

  • +E: Earth (Ground) connection. The “+” often indicates a dedicated, full-current earth pin.

• Current Rating: 16A – The maximum continuous current the socket is designed to handle.

• Voltage Rating: Typically 400V for a 3-phase socket of this type. (It’s always best to confirm with the local datasheet).

• IP Rating: IP44 – This defines its level of protection against solid objects and moisture.

  • 4 (First digit): Protection from solid objects larger than 1mm (e.g., tools, wires).

  • 4 (Second digit): Protection against water splashing from any direction. It is splash-proof and suitable for indoor/outdoor use where it is not directly exposed to powerful jets of water.

• Standard/Configuration: SEO – This refers to the specific pin configuration and technical standard the socket follows. “SEO” typically aligns with the Italian CEI 23-50 standard. It is essential to ensure this matches the plugs of the equipment you intend to use.

• Switching: The unit includes an integrated switch for safely connecting and disconnecting power.

3. Key Features:

• Robust Construction: Made from high-grade, impact-resistant thermoplastics for long life and safety.

• Safety Shutters: The socket outlets are equipped with safety shutters that prevent access to live contacts, protecting against accidental electric shock, especially from children.

• Clear Marking: Features clear, durable markings for easy identification of the switch status (I/O).

• Modular Design: As part of the MHS series, it can be mounted alongside other compatible modules (like circuit breakers, indicators, etc.) in a modular enclosure system for a clean, organized panel layout.

• Secure Connection: Designed to provide a secure and reliable connection for compatible 3-phase plugs.

4. Typical Applications:

This socket is designed for industrial, commercial, and agricultural settings where 3-phase power is required and the environment may be harsh or wet.

• Industrial machinery power connection points

• Workshops and manufacturing floors

• Agricultural equipment

• Construction sites (when housed in appropriate distribution boards)

• Commercial kitchens

• Marinas and outdoor utility areas

5. Important Note on Compatibility:

The SEO designation is critical. You must ensure that the plugs of your equipment (e.g., for a machine, a compressor, or a welding set) are compatible with the SEO/CEI 23-50 socket configuration. Using an incompatible plug is dangerous and physically impossible.
