- 2-pole, 3-wire (2P/3W) configuration accommodates live, neutral and earth conductors.
- Includes a protective cover to seal the inlet when not in use, preventing ingress of moisture and debris.

Product Overview
This Victron Energy power inlet provides a fixed connection point for bringing shore power or generator supply into a vessel, vehicle or off-grid structure. The stainless steel body is chosen for its resistance to salt air, moisture and mechanical wear, making it a practical choice for permanent outdoor or marine installations. The hinged cover protects the socket face when unplugged, reducing the risk of corrosion and water ingress at the connection point.
The 2P/3W (2-pole, 3-wire) format is the standard configuration for single-phase AC connections, carrying live, neutral and earth. At 16A/250Vac, this inlet is rated for typical shore power loads found on leisure craft, motorhomes and small off-grid cabins. It is designed to be panel-mounted, providing a clean, permanent installation rather than a temporary cable solution.
