Victron Energy 32A/250Vac (2p/3w) shore power connector plug
Reliable shore power connection with 32A load capacity
This high-current, 32 amp, 250 V alternating voltage designed two-pole, three-wire connector plug is the ideal solution for boats, houseboats, RVs, camping vehicles, and mobile power supply systems. It provides a stable and safe connection between the shore power network and the onboard electrical system, even under continuous, high-load use.
Main features and benefits
- 32A rated current capacity – suitable for larger consumers and complex onboard systems
- 250 Vac operating voltage – standard single-phase network
- 2 poles / 3 wires – for safe connection of phase, neutral, and protective earth
- Robust, solid design – designed for long-term, reliable use
- Safe touch protection – reduces the risk of electric shock and short circuits
- Easy connection – quick and stable plug-in to shore power socket
Applications
The high-current connector plug is primarily designed for establishing shore power connections where safe and stable power supply is essential. Ideal for:
- For sailboats and motorboats at marinas
- For houseboats and floating structures' electrical networks
- For operating RVs and camping vehicles from external power
- For connecting temporary meter cabinets, mobile distributors
- For powering workshops, garages, temporary work areas
Safe connection and protection
The high-performance connector plug is designed to meet modern touch protection requirements. The phase, neutral, and protective earth wires can be clearly separated for connection, making the correct wiring clear and verifiable. The design minimizes the chances of loose contacts, overheating, and arcing, which are serious hazards in high-current circuits.
Due to the high loads, the proper wire cross-section and professional installation are particularly important. The plug is designed to ensure that the connection points are easily accessible, but form a safe unit from a mechanical and touch protection perspective once the housing is closed.
Compatibility with shore power sockets
The plug design conforms to the requirements of the most commonly used shore power sockets, making it easy to fit into marina, camping, or industrial connection points. The stable mechanical connection ensures that the connector does not loosen, resisting vibrations, pull loads, and frequent plug-in and pull-out cycles, which is particularly important in moving and aquatic environments.
Easy wiring and use
- After disassembling the housing, connect the phase, neutral, and protective earth wires to the designated terminals.
- Ensure the proper wire cross-section, using quality copper wire of the recommended size for 32A load.
- Tighten the screws with sufficient force to achieve stable, loose-contact-free connections.
- Close the housing, ensuring that the strain relief is properly secured.
- Connect the plug to the appropriate shore power socket, then turn on the consumers.
Why is a quality shore power connector important?
The internal electrical network of boats and RVs often operates multiple high-power consumers simultaneously, such as chargers, air conditioners, water heaters, refrigerators, or onboard inverters. A reliable plug rated for 32A load is essential to:
- avoid overheating and burning of the connector
- provide a stable, voltage-drop-free network
- ensure the safe long-term use of the onboard AC system
- reduce maintenance needs and the number of failures
