Adapter CEE 16A 400V to 220V Schuko, Riff, model CEE/16A, 16 A, 400 V to 230 V

Adapter CEE 16A 400V to 220V Schuko (Riff, model CEE/16A) converts a three-phase CEE 16A 400 V supply into a single-phase 220–230 V Schuko outlet. It is intended for temporary connections when only a CEE three-phase source is available but a standard 230 V socket is required for the connected device. The adapter is compact and lightweight, suitable for mobile use on sites, at events, in workshops or for occasional EV charging from a standard socket using a portable charger.

Advantages

The adapter provides a safe and simple way to use Schuko devices from a CEE 16A power source. It features a durable rubber cable and an industrial-grade CEE connector to maintain stable contact during extended use. The housing meets IP44 protection, offering resistance to splashes and dust for outdoor use. At 39 cm length and approximately 0.371 kg weight it is small enough to store in a vehicle or tool bag.

Suitable for

• Temporary power for portable 220–230 V tools and appliances at construction sites
• Powering mobile kitchens, audio/lighting equipment at events
• Workshops and farms for testing single-phase equipment when only three-phase CEE is available
• Charging an EV with a portable charger from a standard socket where a dedicated charging station is not present
• Use at holiday homes, hotels, or friends' houses when connecting Schuko devices to a CEE supply

When it may not be suitable

This adapter does not change the electrical capacity beyond the 16 A rating and is intended for temporary use only. It is not a replacement for a permanently installed single-phase outlet or for applications that require continuous high current above the adapter's rated limit.

Key specifications

• Input: three-phase CEE 16 A, 400 V
• Output: single-phase Schuko socket, 220–230 V, 16 A
• Protection rating: IP44 (splash and dust resistant)
• Cable length: 39 cm (approx.)
• Weight: approx. 0.371 kg

How to use

Connect the CEE plug of the adapter to the available three-phase CEE 16A inlet, then plug the Schuko device or portable charger into the adapter’s Schuko outlet. Ensure the connected device’s current draw does not exceed 16 A. Use the adapter for temporary power needs and avoid permanent installations. Inspect connectors and cable for damage before each use and keep connections dry and clean.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the connected device’s voltage and current requirements do not exceed 230 V and 16 A.
• Check that a three-phase CEE 16 A supply is available at the intended location.
• Plan for temporary use only; it is not a substitute for permanent wiring changes.
• Consider IP44 suitability for outdoor conditions where you intend to use the adapter.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter only within its rated 16 A capacity, avoid continuous heavy loads, and always verify that plugs and sockets are intact and dry before connecting. For regular or high-power single-phase needs, consider installing a dedicated single-phase outlet by a qualified electrician.
