## Product-specific description

Use this 3-Phase to Single Phase 16A 5-Pin Red Plug to 16A 230v Coupler when you need to connect 230V equipment to a 400V three-phase socket without rewiring. It allows you to utilize existing infrastructure, making it a cost-effective solution for powering tools and appliances directly. What This Is For This converter lead is perfect for workshops, warehouses, and event venues that primarily use 5-pin (3P + N + E) three-phase sockets. Instead of replacing these sockets, you can safely supply single-phase 230V equipment, thereby saving on installation costs. Key Features Input: 400V 16A CEE Red 5-Pin Plug (3P + N + E) Output: 230V 16A CEE Blue Coupler (2P + E) Cable: 1.5 mm² Arctic Blue PVC flex — cold-rated and high-visibility Capacity: 16A @ 230V (≈ 3.6 kW) Compliance: Built to IEC 60309 and BS EN 60309-2 standards Tested & Certified: Individually PAT-tested and assembled in Hampshire by HDIUK Ltd Technical Specs Input Voltage: 400V Output Voltage: 230V Amperage: 16A Pin Configuration: 5-Pin Red Plug to 16A Coupler Compatibility & Safety Notes Before use, check that your socket is rated for 16A. The lead draws power from one phase (L1), along with Neutral and Earth, to supply 230V. It is not designed to balance load across phases, so for balanced systems, use separate adapters on different phases. The connectors are IP44 rated, making them suitable for temporary outdoor applications.
