2 | New modular power sockets
Introduction
Modular sockets allow the connection of devices, tools or electrical and electronic non
modular equipment in civil and industrial electrical switchboards.
ABB has a very wide range of modular sockets, which includes
38 models conforming to 7 national standards – Italian, French,
German, English, Swiss, Australian and Argentine – suitable for
use in around 180 countries.
The modular sockets have local quality approvals, attesting their
conformity with applicable regulations.
In addition to the grey-coloured (RAL 7035) version there are three
other colours (red, green and black) which are useful to indicate
specific socket uses.
Versions with integrated voltage indicator lights and fuse complete
the range.
The ABB modular sockets range is available with the following
options:
- Colour, to identify a specific socket use:
- Green (RAL 6029), for example to indicate a dedicated
upstream protection device
- Red (RAL 3000), for example to indicate an UPS group that
allows the socket to be used if the main power supply fails
- Black (RAL 7012), to match with industrial and automation
devices
- Voltage indicator light
- Integrated fuse to selectively protect loads and maintain
continuity of service
- IP30 protective cover (when closed)

Application examples
Coloured sockets allow a special use to be indicated without
having to apply identifying labels. This indication is clear and
visible at large distances, even in low lighting.
Red sockets
Red sockets indicate an upstream UPS which ensures continuity
of service even in the case of temporary black-outs.
Green sockets
Identify the presence of a dedicated protection device on the
socket. Even in the case of a fault on the line, continuity of service
is maintained on the other lines.
Black socket
The anthracite grey colour allows the socket to be installed in
industrial switchboards, maintaining the colour scheme of other
ABB components.
These socket colour usage schemes are only suggested; the
colours may also be associated with other uses.
Operating principle
Coloured modular sockets are used when a clear indication of a
specific use of the socket is required, clearly distinguishing it from
other sockets in the switchboard. The indicator light also indicates
whether supply voltage is present, making it clear if a socket is
powered or not.
Installation example
As shown in the diagrams, non modular devices can be plugged
directly into the electrical switchboard using a modular socket.
It is possible to use a red socket to indicate that the outlet
is powered by a UPS and should therefore only be used in
emergencies. Using a socket with an indicator light also provides
a clear indication that the upstream power supply is present.
Use of coloured sockets
Use of sockets with indicator light
New modular power sockets | 13
Operating principle
Fused modular sockets are used when continuity of service is
requested. With an integrated fuse protecting the phase, they
avoid the related breaker to trip if a fault occurs in the connected
load.
Installation example
As shown in the diagrams, non modular devices can be plugged
directly into the electrical switchboard using a modular socket.
If the connected device is not working properly, there is the risk
that the whole electrical system will be taken offline by the breaker
tripping out.
The fuse integrated in the socket can protect against short circuits
and overloads before this happens, ensuring quality of service.
Use of fused sockets
ABB modular sockets
Do your customers a favour
By installing an ABB modular socket in every
electrical switchboard, you will facilitate
maintenance operations, supplying a complete and
customised switchboard even for your customers
on the other side of the world.
You just need one of these to make sure you are
never cut off at the switchboard again!

Frequently asked questions
Why do modular sockets follow local rules?
Sockets are “local” products, which must adhere to the standards
of the place where they are used. Over time, a large number of
standards was created, and this diversity has remained almost
unchanged to this day. An attempt to unify European sockets was
made in 1986 (IEC 60906-1), which ended without changes in
use being made in Europe but was partially adopted in Brazil and
South Africa.
How many socket standards are there? Is it possible that a
country uses more than one standard? In this case, how can I
choose the correct solution?
There are 13 socket standards, and in many countries more
than one standard is in use. Importation of equipment, such as
household electrical appliances, has often made it necessary to
install foreign standard sockets able to accommodate the plugs
this equipment is fitted with.
You can refer to the table in this brochure which gives all ABB
solutions for each country in order to ensure the correct use. To
guarantee maximum safety, ask to your ABB contact.
Why do modular sockets not have the CE mark?
ABB modular sockets are not “CE” marked as this is not required
by European Directive 2005/95/EC, which indicates (Annex II) that
products identified as “Domestic plugs and sockets” are out of the
scope of the european directive.
Modular sockets are included into this category and cannot,
therefore, receive the “CE” mark.
Why does the M1170 modular socket not carry any quality
mark?
This “dual” socket accommodates different types of plugs:
Europlug, Italian 10A/16A and the German Schuko. The shutters
for the pins of these plugs on the M1170 modular socket are
larger than the other socket models (M1173 and M1175, both
with quality markings) in order to accommodate each type of
plug. The product's geometry therefore makes conformity with
the different standards impossible, and as a consequence it is not
certified by the standards.
Why do the names of the connections change from socket to
socket?
Product marking indications are defined by the applicable product
standards. In table 1 you will find a summary of the markings for
each model.
Why do the rated current values change for each socket
model?
The rated currents of the sockets are defined by local standards.
In general, the current values fall between 10 A and 20 A. It
is always advisable to connect equipment with a high power
consumption using sockets rated at a minimum of 10 A.
Table 2 lists the voltage, current and maximum power supply for
each single-phase socket.
What are safety shutters and what kind of protection do they
offer?
These are insulating components located in front of the holes
for the plug pins (and therefore the socket's contacts); they
create a barrier between the accessible part of the socket and
the live parts. They create an obstacle to inserting objects which
could create a danger for untrained users: metal objects, wires,
screwdrivers etc.
Safety shutters are designed to open only when a plug is inserted,
therefore offering additional safety.

How can I measure the energy consumed at a modular
socket?
C11 energy meter is ideal to measure the energy consumed at a
modular socket.
Can I connect modular sockets in any direction in a
switchboard (vertical, horizontal etc.)?
Modular sockets can be installed in any position in an electrical
switchboard to meet the needs of customers around the world.
When connecting a drill to an M1175-FL modular socket, the
integrated protection fuse blew. Can I replace it with a 16 A
fuse to avoid this problem?
The fuse in the M1175-FL must be replaced with one of the same
specification; you should, in any case, check that the device is not
faulty before reconnecting it.
The 6.3 A rating allows it to blow selectively when a fault occurs,
before the line protection trips out. It is the right compromise
between power output and selective protection.
In this case, the integrated protection in the socket allowed
continuity of service to be maintained on the other lines!
There are two types of Schuko plug which differ in the earth
contact; this can be a protruding pin in the socket or side
connections. Is there a socket suitable for both plug models?
The French plug standard provides for the earth connection with a
protruding pin on the socket, while the German standard specifies
side earth connections.
The minimal difference between the two standards is an
opportunity for standardisation, and French-German standard
plugs were created with both types of earth connection. In
general, new equipment on sale in France is supplied with the
French-German Schuko plugs, however it is necessary to provide
for the connection of other socket models. If doubts should arise
on the type of plug to connect, it will be necessary to install both
socket models.
