Famatel 13922 is a compact industrial adapter that lets you plug a standard 230V appliance with a Schuko plug into a red three-phase 5-pin 16A socket (CEE / IEC 60309). The adapter takes one phase and the neutral from the 400V socket and provides 230V with earthing at the Schuko socket.

• 230 V from a three-phase socket – no need to run an extension from a distant domestic socket or call an electrician for an extra outlet.
• Standard CEE 16A 5P connection – fits all red 16A 6h sockets regardless of manufacturer.
• Earthing (PE) maintained – the Schuko appliance housing stays earthed via the socket's protective conductor.
• IP54 housing – protected against dust and water splashes, suitable for workshops, construction sites and farm buildings.
• Compact, no cable – fewer joints and weak points, easy to keep in a toolbox.
• Nickel-plated brass contacts – better corrosion resistance and a stable contact in long-term use.

• Workshops and garages – for hand power tools, compressors and lamps
• Construction sites – from a 16A 5P socket on a mobile distribution board
• Farm buildings and livestock facilities – for heaters, pumps and cleaning equipment
• Production halls – for temporary 230V loads at machine supply sockets
• Warehouses – for chargers of forklifts, floor sweepers or batteries
• Events and outdoor work – for lighting and sound equipment from a three-phase supply
• Connecting a portable EV charger with a Schuko plug when only a 5P socket is available

• Before first use, measure the voltage at the Schuko socket: it must be ~230 V between L and N. Older installations sometimes have 5P sockets with an incorrectly connected N contact – in that case 400 V may appear at the socket.
• Make sure the neutral (N) is connected in the 5P socket – without it there is no 230 V at the output. If the neutral breaks in the supply line, the voltage at a single-phase load may exceed 230 V.
• The circuit supplying the socket must be protected by a circuit breaker of no more than 16 A and a 30 mA residual current device (RCD) – under HD 60364-4-41 this is mandatory for general-use sockets up to 32 A and for mobile equipment used outdoors.
• Do not exceed 16 A – do not connect several high-power loads to one adapter via extensions and multi-plugs.
• During long operation close to 16 A (heaters, EV charging) the Schuko connection heats up: limit the current where possible and check periodically that the plug and socket are not getting hot.
• IP54 is the protection of the adapter housing with the lid closed; with an appliance plugged in, the overall protection also depends on the IP rating of its plug (domestic plugs are usually IP20–IP44). Do not leave the connection in water or puddles.
• Do not use the adapter if the housing is cracked or the contacts are burnt.
