Single equipotential socket - ECRU IMPRESJA GPE-1Y/M/27

Single Equipotential Socket – Functionality with Distinctive Design

This is not an ordinary socket. It features a grounding bolt, but not merely for safety—it ensures stable potential in locations where voltage differences can be critical, such as bathrooms or kitchens. Shields on current paths prevent access to contacts, significantly reducing the risk of foreign object insertion—especially valuable in homes with children. There is no backlighting because it’s not needed—it’s a tool, not a decoration.

Flush-mount installation with claws and threaded terminals allows the electrician to securely fix it in both brick and plaster. Terminals are made of copper—no “glued” contacts here. Simply unscrew the screw, insert the wire, and tighten—no need to worry about loose connections after years of use.

Design and Integration with Interior

Every element of this module is engineered to operate silently—no noise, no visual disruption. The square shape with a subtle convex profile does not resemble any 90s-style socket. This is not “modernity” as a slogan—it’s precise lines that look equally at home against white walls, dark plaster, or wooden panels.

Ecru is not white. It’s a warm, slightly beige tone—neutral, yet not artificial. It doesn’t reflect light like white paint, nor does it draw attention like black metal. Its purpose is to avoid standing out—while still avoiding a “too plain” appearance. The frame is not included—this is intentional: you can match it to any multi-gang setup or leave it standalone. All frames from the Impresja series (glass, aluminum) fit seamlessly.

Compliance and Operating Conditions

Complies with IEC 60364-7-710 and DIN 42801 standards—performing equally well in new construction and renovations of older homes. IP20 protection rating means it is designed for indoor use only. Do not install it outdoors or in damp locations without additional protection—but where it belongs (bathroom, children’s room), it operates safely and reliably for years.

16 A current and 250 V voltage meet the standard for most household appliances—from refrigerators and hair dryers to electric vehicle chargers. There are no technical limitations here. No special device needed—it’s a socket for everyday use.

Dimensions 71×71 mm are universal—compatible with every mounting plate from the Impresja series. Embedding depth of 23 mm ensures it doesn’t protrude excessively from the plaster, while still providing sufficient space for wiring underneath.

There are no “magic” functions here. But that’s precisely its strength.
