Technical data

2   Safety instructions

This  „Annex to operating instructions“  

GHG 5107001P0012 is  

only for use with the original operating 
instructions  
”GHG 510 7001 P0001“. The GHG 511 plugs 
and sockets are not suitable for Zone 0 and 
Zone 20 hazardous areas.

Observe the national safety rules and 
regulations for prevention of accidents as 
well as the safety instructions included in 
these operating instructions and set in 
italics the same as this text!

4   Use/Properties

The GHG 511 plugs and sockets are used for 
the power supply of local controls with varying 
locations, as well as of electrical installations, 
mobile machinery and driving gear in hazardous 
areas. 
The plugs and sockets can also be used in a 
”normal industrial area“. 
The low-voltage plugs and sockets GHG 511 
are fitted with a load switch and can be used 
up to max. 16 A (see technical data). 
The plugs and sockets can generally be used 
for the voltage range laid down in  
IEC/EN 60309 (e.g. UN 400V that corresponds 
to the voltage range 380-415V).

The apparatus connected to the plug shall 
be suitable for the applied mains voltage. 

3   Field of application

The plugs and sockets GHG 511 are suitable 
for use in Zone 1, 2 and 21, 22 hazardous 
areas acc. to IEC/EN 60079-10-1 and  
IEC/EN 60079-10-2!

The enclosure materials employed, including 
the exterior metal parts, are made of high-
quality materials which ensure a corrosion 
protection and resistance to chemical sub-
stances corresponding to the requirements in 
a “normal industrial atmosphere”:

- impact resistant polyamide 

- glass-fibre reinforced polyester 

- special steel AISI 316 L

In case of use in an extremely aggressive 
atmosphere, please refer to manufacturer.
