Hypra Legrand

The different types of Hypra Legrand sockets and plugs

The Hypra range from Legrand offers several products specifically designed for industrial environments. Discover their features to make the best technical choice.

Hypra industrial plugs

Hypra plugs are designed to withstand the harshest environments. Their robustness makes them essential accessories in the industrial sector. Three material options are available for your plug:

• Plastic (PA 6 and PBT) combining lightness and strength
• Metal (zamak) for maximum durability
• Rubber for enhanced protection against moisture

Waterproofing is a major advantage of all Hypra plugs. Two levels of protection are available: IP44 for protection against water splashes and triple IP55-66/67 for maximum resistance to harsh environments

Hypra plugs can be adapted to all your electrical needs. Their amperage ranges from 16A to 125A for low-voltage versions. Very low-voltage versions range from 16A to 32A.

Our catalogue offers several configurations. You will find straight plugs, angled plugs, mobile sockets and multi-pole connectors suitable for every use.

Hypra industrial sockets

Hypra sockets are particularly suited to harsh conditions. They are used in the food processing and maritime industries, where resistance is essential. The protection rating (IP) indicates their level of waterproofing.

These sockets perfectly complement the plugs in the same range. These products ensure optimal waterproofing thanks to their internal cable gland. The cable is securely fastened with a double-jaw cable clamp. As with the plugs, three materials are available: plastic, metal and rubber. Protection against the elements is ensured by two IP ratings: IP44 or IP55-66/67 depending on your working environment. In addition, the intensity of Hypra sockets ranges from 16A to 125A for low-voltage versions. Very low-voltage versions are available in 16A to 32A.

You will find all types of Hypra sockets in our catalogue: fixed sockets, mobile sockets, panel bases and multi-pole connectors.

Hypra Legrand compatible accessories and enclosures

To complete your installation, Legrand offers accessories compatible with Hypra products, available from One-Elec. These items guarantee a safe and compliant installation in industrial environments. Multi-pole connectors allow power to be distributed to several devices. They are available in kits from 10A to 32A and in base, extension and socket versions for assembly. The reversible boxes protect your connections in harsh environments. They are available for 2P+T, 3P+T and 3P+N+T sockets with IP44 or IP66/67 protection.

Comparison of Hypra sockets: what are the differences between the models?

Technical characteristics: amperage, voltage, IP protection

Hypra sockets have several technical features that set them apart. Choosing the right Hypra socket requires an understanding of your specific needs and your environment.

The amperage determines the power supported by your socket. Hypra models offer several currents:

• 16A for light equipment
• 32A for standard use
• 63A for industrial equipment
• 125A for heavy-duty installations

Voltage is essential for the safety of your installation. Hypra sockets cover different voltages:

• 20V to 25V for very low voltage applications
• 200V to 250V for everyday use
• 380V to 415V for industrial applications

The IP rating indicates the level of protection your socket offers. The higher the rating, the more effective the protection:

• IP44 protects against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes
• IP55 offers increased resistance to dust and water
• IP66/67 ensures total waterproofing, even in the event of temporary immersion

Hypra IP44 vs IP67 socket: which protection should you choose?

The choice between IP44 and IP67 depends directly on your working environment. This decision will impact the durability of your installation.

IP44 sockets are suitable for indoor or semi-outdoor environments where exposure to water is limited. IP67 sockets, on the other hand, are ideal for outdoor or very humid environments such as food processing or shipyards. In addition, the choice of IP rating depends on your industry. A standard workshop may only require IP44, while a marine environment requires IP67 protection.

How to choose the right Hypra industrial socket?

Selection criteria (amperage, frequency of use, environment)

Selecting the right Hypra socket for your needs requires consideration of several key factors. The electrical intensity is the first criterion to consider. For occasional use, 16A is sufficient. Industrial equipment requires 63A or 125A sockets.

Next, the frequency of use influences the choice of material. A socket used daily must be more robust. Metal is recommended for intensive use. The installation environment determines the level of protection required. A standard workshop can use IP44 sockets. A humid environment requires IP67 sockets.

Finally, the specific conditions of your business are also important. Take into account the mechanical, waterproofing and thermal constraints associated with your sector.

Tips for safe installation

Industrial electrical installations require special precautions. Follow these recommendations to ensure safety and compliance.

• Call in a qualified electrician to carry out the installation. Industrial sockets require specific skills to ensure they are fitted to the relevant standards.
• Prepare the installation site correctly. Make sure the environment is clean and free of dust and moisture before installation.
• Check that your plugs and sockets are compatible. Comply with the current and voltage standards to avoid any electrical hazards.
• Ensure that connections are watertight using suitable sleeves. Use protective caps to ensure the durability of the installation.
• Provide protection against overloads. A residual current device compatible with the current rating of your sockets is essential.
• Plan regular maintenance for your installations. Check the condition of connections and replace any damaged parts to prevent risks.
