xPower Inlet Stainless Steel with Cover 32A/250Vac (2p/3w)
The Victron Energy stainless steel power inlet is a shore power connection point rated at 32A/250Vac in a 2-pole/3-wire configuration. It is designed for marine, motorhome and off-grid installations where a weatherproof, durable shore power entry point is required. The hinged cover protects the socket from moisture and debris when not in use.
Key Features
- Rated at 32A/250Vac, suitable for single-phase shore power connections up to 32 amps.
- 2-pole/3-wire (2p/3w) configuration: live, neutral and earth.
- Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in marine and outdoor environments.
- Hinged protective cover included, keeping the inlet sealed when shore power is disconnected.
- Designed for flush or panel mounting on boats, caravans, motorhomes and off-grid cabins.
- Compatible with standard IEC 60309-type shore power connectors used across marinas and campsites in the UK and EU.
Product Overview
This inlet provides the fixed connection point on the vessel or vehicle side of a shore power hookup. When shore power is connected, AC supply passes through the inlet to the onboard distribution system, charger or inverter/charger. The 32A rating makes it appropriate for installations drawing significant continuous AC loads, such as battery chargers, air conditioning units or general onboard AC distribution.
Stainless steel is the preferred material for marine inlets because it resists salt spray, UV exposure and the mechanical wear that comes with repeated plug connections. The hinged cover is an important practical detail: it prevents water ingress at the hull or panel penetration point when the boat or vehicle is not connected to shore power. This matters particularly in exposed installations where standing water or rain could otherwise reach internal wiring.

Installation Notes
Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or a competent marine electrical engineer familiar with BS EN ISO 13297 (marine electrical systems) or the relevant standard for the application. The inlet must be correctly sealed at the panel or hull penetration to prevent water ingress. Ensure the shore power supply and onboard wiring are rated to match the 32A inlet rating. For UK shore power installations, verify compliance with the applicable wiring regulations for the installation type.
