16A 5-pin to Type 3 adapter: what does it do?

The Voldt® 16A 5-pin to Type 3 adapter allows you to connect a red 16A 5-pin CEE power source to charging equipment or devices that require a Type 3 connector. It is intended for situations where a three-phase CEE industrial supply is available, but the charging infrastructure or cable uses a Type 3 interface.

What you can connect and when it is useful

This adapter is commonly used for charging electric vehicles at locations where Type 3 connectors are still required, such as private charging points, older installations, or access-controlled charging stations. Typical use cases include parking garages, commercial buildings, fleet locations, and restricted-access sites.

Three-phase compatibility

The adapter supports three-phase operation, ensuring correct electrical compatibility between a 16A CEE supply and a Type 3 connection. This allows safe use without modifying cables or relying on incompatible plug solutions.
