An Interlocked Socket is simply this:

Ah OK. The reason I ask is that some sockets I've seen called
"Interlocked" don't seem to have an integral switch.

That's very neat. Is the switch the black bar across the top of the
socket?

Will you actually have to unplug the kiln that often? And since you said
it has integral switching no need to worry about arcing. So why bother
with a switched type? The CU is presumably nearby if you did need to
isolate things quickly for any reason.


Such a solution would not (IMO) comply with regulation 537.4.2.5 which
effectively requires emergency switching at the socket outlet as table
53.2 does not allow the use of an IEC309 connector for emergency switching.
