## Product-specific description

Use this 400V 16A 3-Phase 5-Pin CEE Plug to Twin 230V UK 3-Pin Trailing Sockets when you need to convert 400V 3-phase power into standard 230V mains power. This converter allows you to safely adapt a red 5-pin CEE plug to twin UK sockets, making it perfect for workshops, events, and other situations where only 3-phase power is available. What This Is For This converter extracts a single-phase supply from a 3-phase 400V socket. It provides a reliable 230V output, enabling you to power standard UK appliances in environments where 3-phase power is the only option. It is particularly useful for catering units, mobile engineering, and temporary power setups. Key Features Input: 16 Amp 400V 3-Phase CEE Red Plug (5-pin IEC 60309) Output: Twin UK 13A Sockets (BS 1363) Cable: Heavy-duty HO7RN-F rubber flex for industrial durability Safety Note: Each UK plug must contain a 13A fuse; sockets are not individually fused Built & Tested: Professionally assembled and PAT tested in the UK Options: Available with either 16A or 32A CEE plug — check your socket rating before ordering Technical Specs Voltage: 400V input, 230V output Current Rating: 16A Phase: 3-Phase input, Single-Phase output Pin Configuration: 5-Pin CEE Plug Compatibility & Safety Notes Ensure that the 400V socket you are using is a standard red 5-pin CEE socket. This converter uses one live phase (L1), neutral, and earth to provide a stable 230V single-phase supply. It is crucial to verify that your appliances are rated appropriately and that each UK plug contains a 13A fuse for safety.
