Fixed sockets

Fixed sockets - the basis of a safe electrical installation

Fixed sockets are a key element of every electrical installation. Their role cannot be overestimated. They provide a safe and reliable connection of devices to the network.   At Onninen we understand the importance of high-quality fixed sockets for the safety and efficiency of the installation.   Our extensive offer includes a wide selection of products from renowned brands.

We often come across questions about the differences between individual types of sockets. It is worth knowing that fixed sockets are divided into several main categories. These include power, surface-mounted, flush-mounted and specialist sockets. Each type has its own unique features and applications. Choosing the right socket depends on many factors.

Types of permanent sockets available in the Onninen offer

Our assortment includes a wide range of fixed sockets. We offer products from brands such as PCE, F-Elektro, Polam-Nakło and Scame.   We especially recommend our own brand Onnline, which combines high quality with an attractive price.   Here are the main categories of sockets available in our offer:

• Power sockets 16A and 32A
• Surface-mounted and flush-mounted through sockets
• Fixed sockets 16A, 32A and 63A
• OPTIMA-COMBI 16A and 32A surface-mounted sockets
• KOMBI and RS-KOMBI switchboards 16A and 32A

Each of these types has its own unique features and applications. Power sockets are ideal for powering industrial machinery. Surface-mounted sockets are suitable for temporary installations. Flush-mounted sockets provide an aesthetic appearance in office spaces.

How to select the right fixed sockets for specific applications?

Selecting the correct permanent socket is crucial to the safety and efficiency of the installation.   At Onninen we always advise clients taking into account the specifics of their projects.   Here are some of the main criteria to consider:

• Power of connected devices
• Environmental conditions (humidity, dust, temperature)
• Mounting method (surface mounted/concealed mounted)
• Tightness requirements (IP rating)
• Additional functions (e.g. residual current circuit breakers)

For example, for industrial installations, we often recommend 32A or 63A fixed sockets. They provide adequate power for heavy machinery. For offices and residential premises, 16A sockets are usually sufficient. In high humidity environments, sockets with a higher IP protection degree are necessary.

Recently, in a project for a large production plant, we used RS-KOMBI 32A switchboards. This allowed for flexible distribution of power supply points in the production hall. The customer appreciated the possibility of quick reconfiguration of the line without interfering with the main installation.

Innovations and trends in the field of fixed sockets

The electrical industry is constantly evolving, and fixed sockets are evolving with it.   At Onninen we always try to keep up to date with the latest trends and innovations.   Currently, we are seeing a growing interest in sockets with built-in protection. Sockets with the ability to monitor energy consumption are also becoming increasingly popular.

Many customers ask us about solutions that increase energy efficiency. In response to these needs, we have introduced CEE 16A 400V Combi sockets with an automatic power cut-off function. They work great in offices, where devices often remain on after working hours.

In the case of office reorganization, we most often recommend flush-mounted pass-through sockets. They allow easy creation of power supply lines under desks. This solution makes it much easier to adapt the space to changing needs.

Our experience shows that more and more companies are paying attention to the aesthetics of electrical installations. That is why our offer includes fixed sockets in various colors and finishes. This allows for a perfect match to the interior design.

Onninen also recommends specialist solutions, such as coalescing separators. They are used in installations where there is a risk of contamination with oil or other substances. This is an example of how fixed sockets can perform additional protective functions.

Our company provides not only a wide selection of products, but also professional advice.   Our experts will be happy to help you choose the best solutions for your specific projects. Please contact us and take advantage of our many years of experience in the field of fixed sockets and other electrical installation elements.
