Grounded Wall Sockets
A grounded wall socket is a 2P+E power socket mounted in a wall box, with an earthing contact connected to the protective conductor of the installation in addition to the phase and neutral contacts. It is used in homes and workplaces to supply plug-in devices such as white goods, computers and hand tools; the earthing contact lets the current that reaches the device housing in case of an insulation fault flow through the protective conductor. Single and double, child-protected, covered, labeled and IP44 models are available in the Schneider Electric Merten System-M and System-D, Yeni Unica and Asfora series and the Viko Karre, Meridian and Karre 55 series. Choose the series and color to match the frame and box on the wall, the number of sockets by the number of devices at the point of use, the covered or IP44 construction by the location, and screw or quick-connect terminal by your installation preference. In child-protected sockets the contact holes are closed by a shutter that does not open unless both pins of the plug are pushed at the same time. A grounded socket does not provide earthing if no protective conductor has been run in the installation, and it does not replace a residual current device.
