General
Rated current	16 A

The three-phase 16 A adapter for banana plug connection from Chauvin Arnoux is used to convert three-phase industrial sockets into banana plug outputs, enabling direct connection of measuring instruments to the power supply. It thus allows safe and standardized connection of measuring instruments equipped with banana plug connectors to industrial power supplies with CEE sockets. The adapter is specifically designed for use in technical testing and measurement environments where stable and reliable power supply for measuring instruments is required.

Applications

The adapter is used in workshops, laboratories, and technical testing environments where measuring instruments must be connected to industrial power supplies. It is particularly suitable for applications requiring direct power supply via banana plug connectors, for example during testing of electrical devices, voltage and current measurements, or commissioning of systems. Use typically occurs in environments with industrial power supplies equipped with CEE sockets (e.g. 16 A).

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The adapter features three banana plug connectors, each transmitting one phase of the three-phase power supply. It is rated for a nominal current of 16 A, making it suitable for use with devices requiring up to this current. The construction ensures a secure and stable contact between the industrial socket and the banana connectors, guaranteeing reliable power supply for measuring instruments. The connectors are designed to be compatible with standard banana plugs commonly used in electrical and measurement technology.

Technology Explained Simply

The adapter serves as a mechanical and electrical interface between a three-phase CEE socket and three banana plug connectors. The CEE socket is inserted into the adapter, allowing the three phase conductors (L1, L2, L3) to be transmitted to the measuring instrument via integrated banana plugs. Power supply is thus direct from the industrial power source, without requiring additional extension cords or adapters. The design meets safety and reliability requirements for industrial environments.

Compatibility and Accessories

The adapter is specifically designed for CEE sockets with a nominal current of 16 A. It is compatible with measuring instruments equipped with banana plug connectors for power supply. Use with other socket types or current ratings is not intended.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the CEE socket into the adapter. The banana plugs are directly connected to the measuring instruments. No additional tools or mounting procedures are required. The connection is mechanically stable and enables quick and secure commissioning. Use requires no additional safety measures, provided the power supply and measuring instruments are operated in accordance with standards.

The power supply is direct from the industrial power source, without requiring additional extension cords or adapters. The design meets safety and reliability requirements for industrial environments.

Advantages in Operation

The adapter reduces the need for additional extension cords or converters, making measurement technology workflows more efficient. Direct power supply via banana plug connectors enables precise and reliable measurement, as no additional connections or voltage drops occur. The construction is robust and designed for industrial environments, ensuring long service life and high reliability. Simple handling and quick installation increase efficiency during technical testing and measurements.
