Overview

The Vimar ARKÉ Series is a modular flush-mounted outlet and breaker combination built around a 2P+E Italian type P30 SICURY socket with an interlocked 1P+N C16 circuit breaker. Across this range, the electrical format stays the same at 16 A, 230 V~ 50 Hz, with a 3000 A breaking capacity in a 3-module body.

This is the kind of fitting used where a boat needs a protected 230 V AC outlet integrated neatly into an interior switch panel rather than added as a separate surface unit. The interlocked layout keeps the outlet and breaker together in one assembly, which helps keep AC distribution points tidy in cabins, galleys, utility areas, and other enclosed spaces.

The housing is halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt surface, screw terminals, snap mounting, and IP20 protection. Overall size is 67.30 mm wide, 49.00 mm high, and 56.30 mm deep, so it is suited to protected indoor mounting positions rather than exposed deck or washdown areas.

Key features

• 2P+E Italian type P30 SICURY outlet interlocked with a 1P+N C16 circuit breaker
• 16 A, 230 V~ 50 Hz rating with 3000 A breaking capacity
• Flush-mounted 3-module format for ARKÉ panel installations
• Screw terminal connection and snap mounting for panel assembly
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with matt finish
• IP20 protection with enhanced contact protection for protected interior locations

Variants

This product is offered in multiple finish options.

What changes between variants is the visible colour and, in the metal version, the surface protection. The electrical layout remains the same across the range: 2P+E P30 SICURY outlet, interlocked 1P+N C16 breaker, 16 A, 230 V~ 50 Hz, 3000 A breaking capacity, flush mounting, and a 3-module body.

• VM19276, Grey finish. A neutral option that blends easily into darker switch panels and technical interior spaces.
• VM19276.M, Metal finish. This version uses a matt lacquered surface and suits installations where a metallic trim is already being used on the panel.
• VM19276.B, White finish. A lighter look that stands out more clearly on pale liners, bulkheads, and interior cabinetry.

Installation and fit

This unit belongs to the ARKÉ device range and uses a flush-mounted form with snap engagement. For a refit or new build, check that the panel layout, mounting box, and trim arrangement are set up for a 3-module ARKÉ device before ordering.

On board, it fits best in dry interior spaces where shore power or inverter-fed 230 V AC services are routed through a finished panel. Because it is IP20, it is better kept away from open cockpits, deck lockers, engine spaces with direct spray, or any position that is regularly washed down.

Electrical and system integration

This is a 230 V AC fitting, not a 12 V or 24 V DC outlet. It makes sense on boats that use Italian type P30 accessories and want the socket and protective breaker combined in one point-of-use device instead of splitting them across separate modules.

It is a sensible match for interior AC distribution on cruising boats, passenger craft, and workboats where panel space matters and the outlet needs to sit within a modular switch system rather than as a loose add-on.
