Clipsal 56 Series Industrial Switchgear

Clipsal by Schneider Electric has developed the 56 Series Industrial Switchgear in different materials to suit the environment it is installed in.

The Grey (GY) range is the original switchgear for 56 Series Industrial plugs and sockets for general commercial and industrial applications. It is suitable for resisting the effects of high impact and long exposure to UV, both indoors and outdoors. It can be used in areas subjected to low and high temperatures and in dusty/damp environments.

The Chemical Resistant Grey (CG) range has been designed for indoor food environments where aggressive alkali/caustic cleaners are used and washdown procedures are the norm. This includes dairies, abattoirs and food processing plants. It is suitable for indoor applications and resisting cooking oils such as canola.

The Chemical Resistant Orange (RO) and Chemical Resistant White (RW) material offers resistance to a wide range of chemicals. They are suitable for butcher shops, delicatessens and automotive workshops, and in environments where high visibility is important (RO) or where aesthetics are important (RW). They resist corrosive and industrial chemicals, general chemicals such as detergents, oils/grease found in automotive and workshop environments, petroleum-based products and UV damage.
