16A 5-pole to Type 2 adapter

The Voldt® 16A 5-pole to Type 2 CEE adapter is designed to charge an electric vehicle with a Type 2 inlet from an industrial CEE 16A three-phase power outlet. It allows EV drivers to safely use existing CEE infrastructure when a fixed charging station is not available. This makes the adapter ideal for workshops, construction sites, marinas, campsites, warehouses, and private locations with industrial power connections.

Electrical configuration and charging capability

Technically, the adapter supports three-phase charging up to 11 kW at 400 V with a maximum current of 16 A. The 5-pole CEE connector uses L1, L2, L3, neutral, and earth, enabling balanced three-phase power delivery. When combined with a compatible Mode 2 charging system, the adapter communicates correctly with the vehicle to regulate current and ensure safe energy transfer without overloading the installation.

Designed for flexible and mobile charging

This adapter is particularly useful for mobile charging scenarios where permanent wallboxes are impractical. It allows EV users to leverage robust industrial sockets that are widely available across Europe. By converting CEE power directly to a Type 2 vehicle connection, the adapter eliminates the need for costly infrastructure upgrades while maintaining professional-grade reliability.

Yes, the Voldt® 16A 5-pole to Type 2 CEE adapter is specifically designed for safe everyday and professional EV charging. It operates as part of a controlled Mode 2 charging setup, where current draw and charging behavior are actively managed to protect both the vehicle and the electrical installation.

Electrical safety and load management

The adapter ensures correct phase alignment and grounding through the 5-pole CEE configuration, reducing the risk of imbalance or overheating. When connected to a compatible charging cable, the system limits current to 16 A per phase, preventing overload of industrial sockets and upstream circuit protection devices.

Robust construction for intensive use

Its rugged housing, reinforced contacts, and weather-resistant sealing make it suitable for frequent connection and disconnection in professional environments. The IP67 rating adds an extra layer of safety by protecting internal components against moisture ingress and contamination.
