Electrotraders range of industrial-grade power adapters

At Electrotraders, we supply a broad selection of safe, reliable and heavy-duty power adapters designed for Australia’s most demanding work environments. Whether you're powering single-phase equipment from a three-phase outlet or adapting between amperages, our adapters are built tough with IP56-rated enclosures, H07RN-F rubber cable, and integrated GEN 3 RCBO safety switch protection.

Each unit is hand-assembled by qualified electricians using certified Australian components to meet workplace safety standards and electrical compliance expectations.

Trusted across industries like construction, events, mining, film production, hospitality and mobile operations such as food trucks and RVs, these adapters are the smart solution when power supply doesn't match your gear. Flexible configurations ensure you get exactly the plug and socket setup you need—without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a power adapter and how is it different from a power board?

A power adapter is used to convert from one type of plug, socket, or power supply configuration to another—such as three-phase to single-phase, or 32A to 15A. Unlike power boards that offer multiple outlets, adapters typically provide a single conversion and are commonly used in industrial and mobile applications.

Are Electrotraders' power adapters legal and safe to use in Australia?

Yes. All Electrotraders power adapters are assembled in Australia by licensed electricians using fully Australian-approved GEN 3 components. They include safety features like RCBO protection and comply with relevant standards for commercial and industrial electrical installations.

What does RCBO protection mean and why is it important?

RCBO stands for Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection. It combines the functions of a circuit breaker and a residual current device (RCD), protecting both people and equipment from overloads, short circuits and electrocution. It's critical in high-risk and outdoor environments.

Can I use a 32A to 10A or 15A adapter with standard household equipment?

These adapters are designed for specific use cases and should not be used to override current-limiting safety mechanisms. While technically possible, using a 32A adapter to power lower-amp equipment should only be done where the downstream equipment is rated appropriately, and safety protocols are in place.

What industries typically use these types of power adapters?

Power adapters like these are widely used across construction, film production, the event and festival industry, mobile food vendors, RV and caravan setups, commercial kitchens, and remote work sites where temporary or unconventional power access is required.

Are these adapters weatherproof?

Yes. Our adapters are built using IP56-rated enclosures, offering strong resistance to dust and water ingress—suitable for outdoor use in wet or dusty conditions.

Can you make custom adapter configurations?

Absolutely. Electrotraders offers made-to-order power adapter solutions. If you need a unique plug/socket combination or a non-standard cable length, contact our team to discuss your requirements.
