CMS 240V 15A AC Power External Inlet with 16A RCD, IP44, Black

External 240V AC Power Connection for Caravans, Motorhomes, and Off-Grid Setups

The CMS Electracom 240V 15A AC Power External Inlet provides a secure, weather-resistant interface for connecting shore power or generator supply to your recreational vehicle. Designed specifically for the demands of mobile and off-grid environments, this all-in-one external unit combines a recessed 3-pin male connector with an integrated 16A Residual Current Device (RCD), streamlining your electrical installation and providing critical circuit protection at the point of entry.

Whether you are fitting out a new caravan, upgrading a camper trailer, or building a custom service body, bringing 240V AC mains power into a vehicle requires strict adherence to electrical safety standards. By housing the safety switch directly beside the power inlet, this unit eliminates the need to mount a separate internal RCD enclosure, saving valuable interior cupboard and wall space while simplifying the wiring process for your licensed electrician.

Integrated Circuit Protection and Weatherproof Design

When connecting your RV to caravan park mains or an external inverter generator, protecting both the occupants and the onboard electrical system from earth leakage and overcurrent faults is essential. The built-in 16A RCD acts as the primary safety barrier, immediately isolating the 240V AC supply if a fault is detected. A dedicated transparent, hinged inspection window sits over the RCD, allowing you to visually verify the switch status at a glance and easily reset the breaker without exposing the internal components to the elements.

Constructed for exterior vehicle mounting, the durable black enclosure features dual hinged flip covers that provide an IP44 ingress protection rating when closed. This shields the recessed 15A male pins and the RCD mechanism from splashing water, rain, and road dust during transit or while parked at a campsite. The sleek black finish integrates cleanly with modern dark-themed caravan cladding, aluminium composite panels, and contemporary automotive paintwork.
