What is the difference between a CEE plug and a Schuko plug?

Schuko plugs (DIN 49441) are designed for household use up to 16 A. CEE plug devices to IEC 60309 are standardized industrial connectors in protection classes IP44/IP67 for rated currents from 16 A to 125 A – essential for professional and commercial applications.

What protection classes does BALS offer for outdoor use?

BALS plug devices for outdoor use are available in protection class IP44 (splash-proof) and IP67 (temporarily submersion-proof) – suitable for construction sites, outdoor events and agricultural use.

Are BALS plug devices compatible with other manufacturers?

Yes. Since BALS complies with IEC 60309, all CEE-form products are compatible with standard-compliant plug devices from other manufacturers – within the same rated current and voltage class.
