Plugs & Sockets | Marechal Energy Efficiency & Sustainable Development

Thorne & Derrick is committed to a collaborative approach with our supply chain to help solve shared global challenges with the aim to improve quality of life for future generations. By choosing MARECHAL ELECTRIC, you select a technology that combines energy efficiency and sustainable development.

Founded in 1952, the MARECHAL ELECTRIC group was born to enhance electrical safety in industrial environments. Their main product DECONTACTOR™ and unique silver-nickel butt-contact technology offer a safe and innovative solution that allows break under load up to 250 A and reduces the risk of accidents.

Marechal plugs and sockets (DECONTACTOR™) provide low voltage power supply for high current, high temperature and hazardous area (Zone 1 & Zone 2) ATEX power distribution applications – this includes power plugs for electric generator sets, motors, machines, distribution boxes, pumps and electric cabinets.

REDUCE YOUR ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Industry requires energy. A running machine produces heat and therefore, energy. The optimisation of the energy consumption is key to reduce operation costs and enhance processes cost efficiency.

DECONTACTOR™
CONNECTIVITY TO REDUCE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

DECONTACTOR™, has been developed in response to a need to limit the heating of the contacts being an excellent compensation of the thermal cycle thanks to the butt-contact technology. The quality of the materials used and especially the silver-nickel tips on the end of our contacts guarantee little contact resistance and excellent environmental performances in extreme environments.

Investing in MARECHAL ELECTRIC’s solutions is therefore the guarantee of a measurable return on investment at all stages of the life cycle of the products:

Investment: the DECONTACTOR™ is an industrial socket with an integrated switch, it is not a simple plug

Installation : our 5 A to 250 A DECONTACTOR™ break under load, hence do not require a contactor-fed pilot

Use: the DECONTACTOR™ with its silver-nickel butt-contact technology reduces heat dissipation compared with pins and sleeves solutions, generating less energy consumption

Maintenance: spare parts are available for repairing damaged components, thus avoiding waste and pollution. MARECHAL ELECTRIC products are internationally recognised for their durability which can reach more than 40 years
