Perilex

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wiring of Perilex connectors. The exact assignment of the connector can be seen from the labeling inside the connector. Seen from the front of the socket, the assignment is:
Protective conductor PE: middle
neutral conductor N: top left
R (L1): bottom left
S (L2): top right
T (L3): bottom right

Perilex is the trade name for a three-phase plug system approved and standardized in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands .

There are two versions of the Perilex connector system, the common 16 amp version ( DIN 49445/46 & ÖNORM E 6610/11) and the rarely used 25 amp version (DIN 49447/48 & ÖNORM E 6612/13). The connectors have a protective conductor (PE), a neutral conductor (N) and the three outer conductors (L1, L2 and L3; old designations: R, S, T).

In addition to the sequence shown (L2, L3, L1, N), there are also alternative circuits (L1, L2, L3, N) and (L3, L1, L2, N), which also meet the requirement of clockwise rotation according to VDE 0100: "Three-phase sockets must be connected in such a way that there is a clockwise rotating field when the sockets are viewed from the front in a clockwise direction ".

The plug contact for the protective conductor is leading , that is, when the plug is inserted into the socket, the protective conductor is the first to make contact with all the other conductors. To differentiate between the two versions, the protective conductor contact is horizontal on the 16-amp version, while the 25-amp version has a vertical contact.

The Perilex socket became popular in Germany in the early 1960s. In recent years, however, this system has taken a back seat. Today machines are mostly connected with the CEE three-phase connector according to IEC 60309 , as this is common in large parts of Europe.

The areas of application of the Perilex connector system are limited to small businesses (bakeries, butchers, kitchens, etc.), the health sector (hospitals, laboratories) and private households. The system has not caught on in industry and construction, as the CEE connectors widely used there are more robust than the Perilex connectors and, unlike the Perilex connectors, they are also approved for medium-term outdoor operation. Since January 1, 1975, Perilex connectors are no longer allowed to be reinstalled in industry, but can still be installed in households, hospitals and small businesses. Compared to the CEE system, the advantages of the Perilex system are its more compact design and easier cleaning.

Perilex is not approved in Switzerland or Liechtenstein, where types 15 and 25 of the SEV-1011 plug-in system are used today, formerly the so-called "sockets for cookers" (types 7-10).
