16A 5-pole to Type G for UK adapter

The Voldt® 16A 5-pole to Type G (UK) CEE adapter is designed to charge an electric vehicle from a standard UK Type G socket when only an industrial CEE power source is available. It allows EV drivers to safely convert a 16A 5-pole CEE connection into a UK three-pin outlet, enabling the use of portable Mode 2 charging cables in locations without dedicated EV charging infrastructure.

Practical use cases and applications

This adapter is particularly useful in workshops, warehouses, event locations, marinas, construction sites, and temporary installations where CEE power is present but UK domestic sockets are not. It provides a reliable solution for charging electric vehicles using existing electrical infrastructure, avoiding the need for permanent wallbox installation or costly electrical modifications.

Electrical conversion and controlled charging

The adapter converts industrial CEE input to a UK Type G output while maintaining controlled current delivery. When used with a compatible Mode 2 charging cable, the charging system actively manages power draw to ensure safe operation within UK socket limits. This makes it suitable for controlled single-phase charging scenarios where safety and compliance are essential.

Designed for professional and mobile charging

Built for flexibility, the Voldt® adapter supports mobile EV charging without compromising safety or reliability. It enables EV users to charge in locations where conventional charging stations are unavailable, while still adhering to professional electrical standards expected in commercial and industrial environments.

The Voldt® 16A 5-pole to Type G CEE adapter is engineered for dependable performance and long-term durability in demanding environments. It supports single-phase charging up to 2.8 kW, operating at 230 V with a maximum current of 13 A, making it fully compatible with UK Type G socket limitations and portable Mode 2 EV charging cables.

Electrical safety and load management

The adapter ensures proper grounding and phase configuration through its 5-pole CEE input, reducing the risk of electrical imbalance, overheating, or unsafe connections. When paired with a compatible charging cable, current is automatically limited to safe levels for UK sockets, preventing overload of plugs, wiring, and upstream protection devices.

Environmental protection and mechanical durability

With an IP67 protection rating, the adapter is fully dust-tight and resistant to water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor use in rain, snow, or industrial conditions. It is tested for more than 10,000 insertion and extraction cycles, ensuring consistent electrical contact and mechanical reliability over years of frequent use.
