Interlocked extension with rotoswitch and 20 m cable IP66/IP67
Product details
Installations for public entertainment venues now require ever-higher safety standards. Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Pavia on Saturday 20 June is a concrete example of the application of the latest regulatory requirements: the stage set up in Piazza della Vittoria, in the heart of the city, was powered by Palazzoli’s interlocked ROTOR sockets.
An event of major public significance requires reliable electrical infrastructure that complies with current regulations. The new edition of the CEI 64-8/7 Standard – Section 752:2024, dedicated to public entertainment venues, reaffirms the importance of safety in the power supply to mobile and portable equipment.
Among the main requirements set out in the standard is the use of interlocked sockets, an essential solution for preventing accidental disconnection and ensuring the continuity and safety of the power supply, even in contexts characterised by frequent movement of equipment.
ROTOR: Palazzoli’s response to the new requirements of CEI 64-8/7
The ROTOR range has been developed specifically to meet the needs of installers and designers working in environments where reliability and safety are essential requirements.
Article 752 of the CEI 64-8/7:2024 standard stipulates that:
- fixed sockets must be installed close to the points of use;
- connection cables must be of limited length;
- any extension leads with currents exceeding 16 A must be fitted with interlocked sockets;
- cables must be flexible, installed without tensile stress and comply with CEI EN 60332-1-2, with flame-retardant properties and adequate abrasion resistance.
In this context, ROTOR technology ensures a safe and reliable connection, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection and helping to protect people, equipment and installations.
A concrete example of safety in practice
The staging of the platform from which Pope Leo XIV addressed his message to thousands of citizens is a concrete example of how regulatory requirements can be translated into effective technological solutions. When it comes to public events, safety is not merely a technical requirement but a specific responsibility. The regulations themselves state that, in the event of an accident, a non-compliant installation may result in civil and criminal liability for the installer. For this reason, choosing components designed to meet the highest safety standards means investing in the quality of the installation and in the protection of people.
The stage set up in Piazza della Vittoria in Pavia for Pope Leo XIV’s visit. The power supply was provided using Palazzoli’s ROTOR interlocked sockets, which comply with the requirements of Standard CEI 64-8/7 Section 752:2024 for public entertainment venues.
