⚙️ What Does This Converter Do? Some electric vehicles only support single-phase 7kW charging. If the charging station is 22kW (three-phase, 3-phase), it is not directly compatible with this vehicle. ⚙️ What Does This Converter Do? Some electric vehicles only support single-phase 7kW charging.

🔌 Technical Structure
Feature Description
Input 400V AC, 3-phase, 32A (22kW)
Output 230V AC, 1-phase, 32A (7.4kW)
Cable/Terminal Type 2 (Mennekes) male → Type 2 female
Internal Cable Connection Only L1 (phase) + N + PE is used
Protection Thermal, overcurrent, and leakage current protections may be provided
Usage: Plugged into a three-phase station, uses only a single phase
⚠️ Important Notes
✅ Power reduction: The full power of the 22kW charging station will not be drawn; only around 7kW will be drawn.
❌ Power conversion is not performed: These adapters do not "convert" electricity; they simply change the connection.
✅ Vehicle compatibility required: If your vehicle only supports single phase, this adapter will be compatible.
❌ It's not bi-directional: A 7kW vehicle cannot utilize the 22kW output; this adapter only provides a compatible connection.
🧰 Usage Scenario
Your vehicle only supports single-phase charging (7kW).
However, there are only three-phase 22kW Type 2 charging stations in your area.
In this case, compatibility is achieved with a converter adapter.
