Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a 5 Pin Three Phase Adapter Lead used for?

These leads are designed to connect equipment with mismatched 5-pin three-phase plugs and sockets, including between Australian and CEE Form (European-style) standards. They're used across many industries to ensure compatibility without the need for rewiring or changing connectors.

What’s the difference between 4 pin and 5 pin three-phase leads?

A 5-pin lead includes three active phases, a neutral, and an earth. The 5th pin (neutral) allows for single-phase loads within a three-phase system—useful when equipment needs both types of power. A 4-pin lead omits the neutral and is only suitable for equipment that doesn’t require it.

Are CEE Form connectors safe to use in Australia?

Yes, CEE Form (IEC 60309) connectors are widely used in Australian industrial settings and are compliant when used in accordance with Australian Standards. They're especially common on imported machinery or temporary site installations.

What amperages are available in your 5 pin adapter leads?

We offer both 20A and 32A variants to match common industrial and commercial power requirements. Always check the rating of your equipment before selecting the right adapter lead.

Can I use a 32 Amp plug with a 20 Amp socket or vice versa?

No. For safety and compliance reasons, plugs and sockets must match in both pin configuration and amperage. If you're unsure, we can help match the right adapter to your application or build one to spec.

Are these adapter leads suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

Yes. Our adapter leads are assembled with robust cable and IP-rated connectors that are resistant to weather, dust, and impacts. We can also custom-build to meet specific site or environmental requirements.

Do you offer custom builds or lengths?

Absolutely. All leads can be customised to the cable type and length you need, using flexible or heavy-duty options depending on the job. Just let us know your requirements and we'll make it to order.
