Single Pole Connectors
High Current Plugs For Industrial & Hazardous Areas
Thorne & Derrick distribute the full range of plugs and sockets manufactured by Marechal for the distribution of LV Electric Power in both industrial and hazardous areas – the Decontactors can safely be disconnected under a full electrical load for rapid change out of equipment or planned maintenance during plant shutdowns.
Marechal plugs and sockets are used in various industries globally including mining, oil and gas, data centres, renewable energy, offshore, food and drink, shipping and petrochemical as well as other areas that require a guaranteed safe electrical connection.
In the most extreme environments, the Marechal high current plugs ensure a steady and performant power supply on machines up to 700 Amps / 1000 Volts. The outdoor connectors, ground- or wall mounted plugs resist shocks and abuse.

Marechal Decontactor Technology
A Decontactor is a plug and socket outlet system with an integrated power switch permitting safe connection and disconnection of electrical equipment with “Plug and Play” simplicity and includes a integral load break switch which has many benefits such as:
- Safe electrical disconnections for Low Voltage Power Distribution
- High temperature, high current and hazardous area certified plugs
- Automatically watertight plug/socket assembly
- Cost reduction due to dual-voltage systems
- Robust and reliable Decontactor alternative to conventional plugs and sockets
- Electrical connection and contact quality
Did you know? The Decontactor is the only electrical connector that combines a connector with a switch. Marechal’s unique technology allows users to connect and disconnect electrical power supply from 5Amps to 250Amps on load. The below video shows that Marechal plugs combine electrical safety and reliability for power control and distribution in industrial and hazardous areas.
Below is the full product offering of Industrial & Hazardous Areas Plugs & Sockets ranging from 75Amps to 1250Amps.
Cs CONNECTORS
The CS range of watertight single pole power connectors covers all needs of industrial electrical connections (quarries, urban equipment, boats etc). The Marechal CS ranges from 75Amps to 500Amps and offers many options such as silver-butt technology, mechanical fool proofing and locking mechanisms – this helps prevent disconnections by accident.
The electrical connector range is rated IP66/IP67 (Ingress Protection).
